Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

In the Kansas City Star, I read an article some time ago that stated Len Dawson is the seventh son of a seventh son. In Irish folklore, this is supposed to be good luck. Since Dawson is Irish, is this worth mentioning? I found it intriguing, anyway. I can't find the article that stated this. 24.166.176.141 (talk) 23:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How can he be the Seventh son of a seventh son if he's the ninth of 11 children, as mentioned in the Early Life section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.68.208.41 (talk) 06:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If two of his eight elder siblings are female, then he's the seventh son. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:54, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

College-era photo

Would be better to show a photo taken in Ross-Ade Stadium than the current one taken at an away game. Casey (talk) 00:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
