Re: 2023 Obituaries
I recall a Sport Magazine article (in 1964 I think) about Charley Scales titled, "Me and Jimmy Brown." The theme was what it was like being Jimmy Brown's understudy, which was the term used. In the 1962 season Scales lined up at halfback alongside Brown for a few games, but was replaced at the position by Ernie Green. Charley Scales was the Browns' second-string FB during 1963-65.BrownsHistorian wrote:Charley Scales Has Died
