Reppin sessions podcast sits down to honor the one and only #22 Roy Bruce. Bruce is the Roughnecks all-time leading rusher 62 years later. We didn't mention his overall touchdown numbers because even after talking to Joe Lee Smith he expressed his frustration when writing his book because he couldn't find the overall TD numbers. However he did say he knows for sure Roy scored 23 touchdowns in 1956. He kept stats that season. But said overall Roy probably has 55-60 touchdowns combined in his 3 years.Our sole purpose is to have #22 retired. We want to make sure his name will forever be remembered in the WO community. Listen and hear why we believe #22 should be retired. #22 helped secure the only football state title in school history. Roy has the support from everyone who's ever known about or knew him and we hope to share his story with people who may not even know. Enjoy listening #retire22
