Billy Shaw is one of the most celebrated players in Buffalo Bills history. The Hall of Fame offensive guard played in 119 games for Bills from 1961 to 1969, was selected to the All-AFL team five times, and appeared in eight All-AFL All Star Games.
Over the course of an athlete’s career, teammates come and go, but the close friendships last beyond your playing days. Shaw has personally kept in touch with many of former teammates over the years through alumni events and other team functions. But there was one teammate that he completely fell out of contact with, it haunted him for five and a half decades.
