The man who captured the imagination of the football-watching world 24 years ago as a rookie defensive tackle and part-time fullback for the ’85 Bears is facing one of the biggest challenges of his life.

According to Kevin Allen of the Chicago Sun-Times, former NFL defensive tackle William “Refrigerator” Perry has been hospitalized in South Carolina due to symptoms of Guillian-Barre syndrome.

Last year, Perry spent five months in a hospital after being diagnosed with the condition. This time around, he has been hospitalized for over a week.

The 46-year-old, who spent ten years in the NFL, is expected to make a full recovery.

Best wishes, Fridge. The league was a different place when he was in it, in a very good way.
