It may have been after he left Auburn that he got the nickname and even though it ended badly I still think it’s one of the best-

I went to Dora High in Walker County, AL.  I had a classmate that played for Pat Dye in the late 80's.

His name is Gary Dorsey (nicknamed Superfly).  He only ever played in 5-10 games that I know of so it may be that nobody else on the forum remembers him.

I remember Gary. I don’t remember “Superfly” though. Although that was a long time ago.

Was he #5 & did he play for Tuberville around 2000?

[TigerPAC 1,011]

Little train was my favorite.   Mainly because I am a short guy too and loved to see him prove everyone wrong.
