Ex star Norm Standlee battles polio in quiet days
Norm Standlee, former San Francisco Forty Niner fullback, lives in Menlo Park after polio struck him following his 1952 wrist fracture. Now 36, he works at a package store, keeps weight down to ease leg recovery, and still follows games from the counter with a humor that mirrors his on field grit. He recalls his 1941 Bears season, Army service, and the shift to defense before his illness ended his pro play. He misses team camaraderie but enjoys family life with wife and two children and the occasional game nearby.
