Sophisticated yet blue-collar to his core, Dawson was born June 20, 1935, the ninth of 11 children of James and Annie Dawson in the manufacturing town of Alliance, Ohio. “I said to him once, ‘Leonard, make sure that you never let them see you sweat.’ And he said, ‘Coach, quarterbacks don’t sweat. “He was always under control,” Stram recalled years later. And it perfectly captured “Lenny the Cool.” The latter often was scrawled upon a seminal photo from halftime of the first Super Bowl: the exhausted quarterback, white uniform covered in grass stains, sitting on a folding chair with a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of Fresca at his feet. He would go out of his way to make time for fans, whether it be a photograph or signature. “I could not have accomplished so much without my teammates and colleagues, and I’m grateful for each of them.”ĭawson remained a beloved figure in Kansas City, even as his health declined and he cut back on public appearances. “I’ve been blessed for what I had the opportunity to do,” Dawson said told The Associated Press in 2017. Other memorials will be arranged according to the wishes of his family. The Chiefs intend to honor Dawson during their preseason finale against Green Bay on Thursday night, Hunt said, though the details were still to be decided. No cause was given, though Dawson had had prostate cancer and quadruple heart bypass surgery over the years. “His impact on the Kansas City Chiefs and everyone who has worked for the organization cannot be overstated.”ĭawson’s family announced his death Wednesday at the age of 87. “Len was my first sports hero and he remained someone I admired and respected his entire life,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said. He was a Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl championship, then a Hall of Fame broadcaster who brought football into the homes of millions on the iconic HBO show “Inside the NFL.”
