Seriously. It's impossible that Gault is that old.

And actor. He portrayed himself in (one show only) the sitcom "Still Standing".

Happy Birthday Willie G!

For those of you young vfls do yourself a favor and watch some old film of WG. Dude brought speed to the SEC and was as electric a ball player as any that gave their all for Tennessee.
Happy Birthday WG!

I took 2 classes with Willie, Track and Field and Coaching Track and Field-shocker-taught by Ralph Boston. Willie ran with pure grace and form. We learned a lot those 2 quarters and no, I can't believe he's 55 either cuz I know I'm not that old.......

He is still faster than a huge amount of 18-35 year olds.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He is still faster than a huge amount of 18-35 year olds.

And everybody on the Vanderbilt and Kentucky rosters

He is still faster than a huge amount of 18-35 year olds.

I'd guess he's faster than 99.99% of the human race in general, regardless of age. At 50 years old, he ran a 10.88 second 100m dash.
