49ers legend Dwight Clark reveals he has ALS
San Francisco 49ers legend Dwight Clark announced Sunday night that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
San Francisco 49ers legend Dwight Clark announced Sunday night that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurological disorder more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
"While I’m still trying to wrap my head around the challenge I will face with this disease over the coming years, the only thing I know is that I’m going to fight like hell and live every day to the fullest," Clark said in a statement.
The 60-year-old Clark is most famous for "The Catch," the winning touchdown — from Joe Montana — to beat the Dallas Cowboys in the 1981 NFC Playoffs, sending the 49ers to Super Bowl XVI, which they won for the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl Championship.
