LAKE FOREST, Ill. – More than a dozen former Bears players are scheduled to appear at Real Time Sports Bar (1120 W. Devon) in Elk Grove this Saturday from 1-5 p.m.
Those expected to attend include six members of the famed 1985 championship team—Hall of Famer Dan Hampton, Gary Fencik, Matt Suhey, Otis Wilson, Calvin Thomas and Jim Morrissey—as well as Ronnie Bull, Glen Kozlowski, Roland Harper, Bruce Herron, Tom Hicks, Jim Osborne, Marcus Robinson, Revie Sorey, Jim Thornton and James “Big Cat” Williams.
Hampton, a defensive lineman who lined up at both tackle and end, played his entire 12-year NFL career with the Bears from 1979-90. He was named to the NFL Team of the Decade for the 1980s, was selected to four Pro Bowls and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002.
Fencik also played 12 seasons with the Bears from 1976-87. A free safety, he was named to two Pro Bowls and is still the franchise’s all-time leader with 38 interceptions.
Suhey played 10 seasons with the Bears from 1980-89. A bruising fullback, he served as Walter Payton’s lead blocker, but also ranks ninth in franchise history in rushing with 2,946 yards.
Wilson played eight seasons with the Bears from 1980-87. An athletic outside linebacker, he was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1985 after registering 11½ sacks, second on the team behind Richard Dent’s 17.
Tickets for the event at Real Time Sports Bar cost $50 and include a full buffet, autographs and photo opportunities. For more information, call (708) 450-1710.
