    the story about him and the free chicken, hence the nickname chicken man, was recounted on this bbs not so long ago . . . i think.

    I always thought it was "Dunes" from the comic strip.

    The Chicken Man delivered for me one game. He scored the last basket, the 135th point got me a free chicken dinner

    I think the chicken was from Hartz (Rons)?

    I remember the "Chicken Man" legend, but didn't he also have the other nickname?

    Sure, but that is in the other thread that you revived and where it belongs.

    I was at both games and never got to thank Mike for the chicken.

    Thanks Mike!!!

    The first time Dunleavy did it, it made national news. I was at the Ron's where a national news team was interviewing folks. They interviewed me, but it did not make the news. I guess it's true; I have a face for radio.

    So would that make his son at Duke Chicken Boy or Chicken Man Jr. ?

    Dunleavy definitely was the "Chicken Man"... his fast food brother was Billy "The Whopper" Paultz. [​IMG]

    The reason I asked way because of Dunleavy Jr. A guy from Duke emailed me at my SOR address and asked the question because the Duke students make up chants for each Duke player and they needed one for Dunleavy. They thought trying to find his father's nickname would help.

    Maybe we'll hear some chicken chant at Cameron later this year and you'll know where it came from! [​IMG]
