Cookie Gilchrist was a big back for Buffalo and Denver in the AFL. He was Earl Campbell before Earl Campbell. His real name has not yet been revealed.

Butch Byrd was also a Buffalo Bill, defensive back in the AFL. Speedy Duncan was a defensive back and kick returner for San Diego.

Hint: Ickey's real name begins with an "E."

Was Ickey Earl?

Byrd and Duncan were before my time so I have no chance of guessing them.

Nope. Icky's real name is "Elbert."

The others remaining are Lesley "Speedy" Duncan, George "Butch" Byrd, and Carlton "Cookie" Gilchrist.

If you have some time go into You Tube and check out "Full Color Football." The documentary about the AFL. If you are into Chiefs and AFL history, its a must watch.
