Former NFL linebacker Bill Bergey has died, his son announced on Christmas Day. He was 79.

The former linebacker was inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame in 1988. He received another honor in 2011 when he became a member of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.

"He has kind of been my inspiration," Bergey told the Eagles official team website last year. "He keeps me on the up and up. 'Just remember,' he would say, 'You're a football player, you're tough, and you can beat this. You can handle this.'"
