Tom was born with part of his kicking foot missing. He wore a special shoe that many felt gave him and advantage (flat toe). The was before soccer style kicking became popular in the NFL. Tom Dempsey played 11 seasons between 1969-1979 for the Saints, Eagles, Rams, Oilers, and Bills. As of the 2007 season, he holds the NFL record for longest field goal made at 63 yards (this record has been tied by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos in 1998).
