Biography

Who is Dempsey Tom?

American football placekicker in the National Football League who played for the New Orleans Saints (1969–1970), Philadelphia Eagles (1971–1974), Los Angeles Rams (1975–1976), Houston Oilers (1977) and Buffalo Bills (1978–1979). Dempsey was born without toes on his right foot and no fingers on his right hand. He wore a modified shoe with a flattened and enlarged toe surface. This generated controversy about whether such a shoe gave a player an unfair advantage. In 1977, the NFL added a rule, informally known as the "Tom Dempsey Rule", that "any shoe that is worn by a player with an artificial limb on his kicking leg must have a kicking surface that conforms to that of a normal kicking shoe." In January 2013, Dempsey revealed he was suffering from dementia. On 30 March 2020, Dempsey tested positive for Covid-19, and on 4 April 2020 at age 73 in New Orleans he died due to the Coronavirus.
