Andy Fox

Andrew "Andy" Fox (August 11, 1920 - July 25, 2021) was an American football player, security guard, chimney sweep, author and philosopher. He played as a running back for the Green Bay Badgers for ten seasons.
==Early Life==
Andy Fox was born on August 11, 1920 in Tampa to restaurant worker Venus Fox (1883-1964) and World War I Marine veteran Elon Fox (1856-1928). He had a big sister, Jasmin (1915-) and a Welsh corgi, Butkus. 
Fox was inspired to play football when he discovered that he was born in the year the NFL was created. He tried out for his middle school football team, but he didn't make the cut. Feeling the need to get stronger, he joined the weightlifting club, becoming its vice-president at age 13. He successfully joined his high school football team, becoming captain during his junior/senior year. 
In 1938, Fox accepted a full athletic football scholarship from Tampa University. He also studied philosophy.
==Football career==
Fox made himself eligible for the 1942 NFL draft. He was drafted in the second round by the Green Bay Baggers. He joined the team as a running back. In the last play of a 1943 game against the New Enhland Hoodies, he ran the ball up the middle, but was unable to score. The Baggers finished eight in the league. 
During Fox's third season in 1945, a natural disaster devastated the home stadium. He organized a volunteer cleanup effort with his team. In his fourth season, to clean up his image in hopes of getting a lucrative endorsement deal from Adidas, Fox started volunteering at a homeless shelter. In 1947, Fox dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass on the last plau against the Indiana Clots. The Baggers finished as runners up in the league. As a result, Fox won his first Most Improved Playing award for his improvement from his 1946 season. After Fox's sixth season in 1948, when the Baggers finished as runners up again, he won his second MIP award. 
In 1952, after reaching his milestone of ten seasons, Fox was summoned for a doping test by league officials. By an unlucky coincidence, he failed the test. Although he was technically banned from athletic competitions only for five years, this marked the end of his football career, as he found himself unable to play again, even when the ban had expired. Over the years, Fox had made allegations against the NFL that they had treated him unfairly during the tests and that the results were tampered. The conclusion to this idea has not been reached. 
===Security guard job===
In 1969, after his first twenty-seven years in the spotlight ended, Fox started looking for a new career. After five application rejections and two political campaign failures, he was hired for the position of security guard for Hamilton and Sons. 
In 1975, Fox was almost fired from his job. However, he seduced his supervisor, Ellie, into keeping it. This happened again the next year, and again in 1978, 1979, 1985, and for the final time in 1986. In 1989, he was forced to retire from Hamilton and Sons after twenty years, being "too old" at age 69 to continue guarding. 
===Chimney Sweeping and Graduate School===
A year after his retirement from his security guard career, Fox successfully applied for The Diggler Company's 1990 opening for apprentice chimney sweep. He earned a promotion to chimney sweep in 1992. In 2006, his services were terminated, four years before he had the chance to retire, again being considered too old for the job. He enrolled in graduate school to continue his studies in philosophy. Fox completed graduate school in 2008. 
===Law School===
Despite having no intentions of becoming a lawyer or judge, Fox decided he should still have some knowledge in law. He attended law school from 2008 to 2011, becoming one the oldest law school graduates at age 91.
