William “The Refrigerator” Perry hospitalized
Former Chicago Bear’s defensive lineman William “The Refrigerator” Perry is in a South Carolina hospital and said to be in serious condition.
Perry who is 46 has a disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome which is a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves.
Perry’s nephew Purnell Perry told the Chicago Sun Times that his uncle is doing much better and is expected to recover.
Perry who tipped the scales at 300+ pounds was a defensive lineman but became famous when coach Mike Ditka used him as a running back on short yardage plays. He scored a touchdown in the Chicago Bears 1986 win over the New England Patriots.
