I have several friends and relatives who met him (he waved at me once). One encounter, alas, was not good at all, but that was not because of Sweetness, who is favorable in every instance. His passing was one of the few times I have genuinely mourned someone I did not know. I signed the back of my license that day. |

Listen, bud, he was so big we heard about him in the UK and we had next to no interest in the NFL back then. Channel 4 started showing the NFL on Sunday nights and my Dad and I watched it and I was a Bears fan SOLELY because of the Fridge. Dad was a fan of the 49ers and the Redskins.

Not really, even back then he was considered kind of a joke character / figure. I only knew one person that had him and we didn't really play with him with the other figures.

Ha. I remember mentioning The Fridge to my niece's boyfriend a couple of years back and my brother-in-law pointing out that he probably doesn't know The Fridge is. I had to explain and show him pictures, telling him that Perry was over 300lbs and that's why he was called "The Refrigerator".
Also: Anyone who grew up in the NYC/NJ area remember a song on one of the local radio stations about The Fridge that went something like "Perry, Perry, Refrigerator Perry/Running and a stomping for the Bears/Perry, Perry, Refrigerator Perry/Seventy Two is the number that he wears/ When Fralic's behind him/You can't find him..." I remember hearing this song around 1985 and '86, but I never knew what it was called. |
