Bob Ackles started his football career as a water boy for the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League. His career took him to the NFL and XFL in the United States, before going back to the Lions over fifty years after he worked there as a water boy. Ackles is the only man to hold executive positions in all three football leagues.
Ackles' memoir, The Water Boy: From the Sidelines to the Owner's Box: Inside the CFL, the XFL, and the NFL , is available today for only $4.81. A great read about a man passionate about football - and we all know a few men who are passionate about football, don't we?
