Richard Butler
No...that is not a typo. Most of you know Clemson great Jerry Butler. But did you also know that his brother, Richard Butler, played for the Tigers as well? The photo was taken at the 1982 Clemson vs. Wake Forest game (Mirage Bowl) in Tokyo, Japan and uploaded by Carl "Allen" Cutts.
Richard Butler was a reserve wide receiver at Clemson from 1982-1984 finishing his career with 26 receptions for 349 yards and one touchdown. This past Spring, Butler participated in the Clemson "Sons" game during the Spring Game. Here is a picture from the Orange and White of Butler making a "tackle" during the game.
During the offseason, I will update the blog with Historic Clemson Pictures. Editorials will take place several times a week as well, but I hope to have new pictures uploaded every single day. So make sure you stop by the blog daily to see a new picture. The hope is that some of you will see these pictures for the first time and may take something away from seeing these pictures. When possible, I will credit those that uploaded the pictures to Internet sites. In some cases, Clemson fans have sent these directly to me. If you have old Clemson photos, send them to me at scottrhymer.tps@gmail.com
