Celebrity Apprentice 2009 - Who is Herschel Walker?

As a Dallas Cowboys fan I was very interested watching Herschel Walker's appearance on Celebrity Apprentice 2009.

Herschel Walker had a very colourful career notably as a running back but was also utilised as a kickoff returner and tight end/wide reciever.

He won the Heismann Trophy in his Junior Year in 1982 after smashing collegiate rushing records. He joined the New Jersey Generals for the newly formed USFL in 1983. Rather than wait for his graduation he decided to join the USFL at the end of his Junior Collegiate Season. More success ensued as Herschel became the leading USFL rusher in 1983 and 1985.

In 1986 Herschel walker joined the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL, immediately challenging Cowboys legend Tony Dorsett for the number one position, both on the field and in the fan's hearts. His career in the NFL spanned twelve seasons although it could be argued that his most successful and enjoyable times were when he played for the Dallas Cowboys. His only two Pro Bowl appearances in 1987 and 1988 were achieved whilst playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

At the pinnacle of his career in 1989 Herschel was traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a total of FIVE Players and SIX Draft Picks - one of which led to the Dallas Cowboys getting Emmitt Smith and we all remember what he achieved for the Cowboys?

Under utilised at the Vikings he moved on to the Phildelphia Eagles in 1992 and the New York Giants in 1995, before arriving back at the Dallas Cowboys for his swansong in 1996.

Herschel Walker owns many records and fantastic achievements during his career, but probably the most unique is he is the only person to record 90 plus yard touchdowns in the same season (1994) for a reception, a run and a kickoff return.

He is currently appearing in Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice and his chosen charity is Alternative Community Development Services.
