Herschel Walker Tells All About His Multiple Personalities
Fans and teammates were shocked when Georgia football player – Herschel Walker admitted to having multiple personalities. The news came out in the new “Breaking Free” book that goes through the Walker’s like and his mental illness. That’s all news to me,” former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said in Friday editions of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “All I know is whatever personality he had when he had the football was the one I liked.”
In three seasons at Georgia, Walker led the Bulldogs to a 33-3-1 record, three straight Southeastern Conference championships and the 1980 national title. He won the Heisman as a junior, then left school a year early to sign with the now-defunct U.S. Football League. Walker played for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. He has lived in Dallas since his playing career ended.
A former Georgia teammate also was caught off guard by Walker’s revelation. “I’m probably one of his closest friends and that’s news to me,” said Frank Ros, who was captain of Georgia’s 1980 national championship team. “I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on, but that blows me away.”
