A terminally ill Alabama fan got his last wish, with some help from Alabama’s football program and a 319-pound senior center.
The fan, identified only as “Tommy,” has been staying at a hospice in Albertville, Ala., located about 25 miles southeast of Huntsville. The town is known to Crimson Tide fans as the town that produced Hall of Fame guard John Hannah.
The fan received a package filled with Alabama memorabilia, including a football autographed by coach Nick Saban with the message “To Tommy, Roll Tide!”
Thanks @dreamfound for fulfilling Tommy's #lastwish!
