He scored the first NFL Super Bowl touchdown, Max McGee, aged 75, died yesterday after falling from a roof. This ESPN report stated:
McGee was blowing leaves off the roof when he fell, according to news reports. A phone message left at a number listed for an M. McGee wasn't immediately returned.
Very tragic way to die for Mr. McGee. We wish the best for his family, as Max McGee, passed away.
Paul Hornung was quoted as saying:
"I just lost my best friend," former teammate Paul Hornung told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "[His wife] Denise was away from the house. She'd warned him not to get up there. He shouldn't have been up there. He knew better than that."
McGee caught two TD's in Super Bowl 1 after the starting tight end was injured.
RIP Max McGee
