Here from Coach Bryant to Coach Saban. Happy 90th Birthday Eddie!#RollTide pic.twitter.com/LyygMsAlTx — Alabama Football (@AlabamaFTBL) April 10, 2018

Alabama had something to celebrate after Monday’s spring football practice.

While the Crimson Tide will travel to Washington D.C. on Tuesday, April 10, to celebrate its 2017 national championship at the White House, Alabama’s players, coaches and staff members had an on-field celebration the day before -- only this time for a birthday.

Monday, April 9, was long-time practice official Eddie Conyers’ 90th birthday, and coach Nick Saban presented him with a No. 90 jersey and a cake while the team sang “Happy Birthday.”

Following practice today, #Alabama players, coaches and staff wished a happy birthday to long-time practice official Eddie Conyers. Conyers, who turned 90 on Monday, has served as an official at Crimson Tide practices since the early 1960s.

Conyers has served as an official the Tide practices since the early 1960s. Starting his longtime tenure during Paul “Bear” Bryant’s coaching career at UA, he officiated for the legendary coach for free, while those Alabama teams played more penalty-free football.

Saban routinely jokes that Conyers is a double-agent won’t call a penalty on the offense.

“I love Eddie,” said Saban during his weekly radio show last season prior to the Mississippi State game, “but I’ve tried to fire his ass more times than I can count.”

Conyers and the Crimson Tide will be back on the practice field after a 1-day break Wednesday, April 11, for the 10th of 15 practice sessions of Alabama’s spring football season.
