Ex-49ers great Dwight Clark reveals ALS diagnosis
Published March 20, 2017
Legendary San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dwight Clark, who is remembered for his 1982 NFC Championship game heroics when he hauled in “The Catch” from quarterback Joe Montana, revealed he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
I would not wish this disease on anyone, but it’s sad to hear that a class guy like Dwight Clark has been afflicted with it.
