Occasionally I would see Steve Worster at Sholtz Garden before games,  he always seemed happy and would acknowledge a hello.  

The thing that always struck me was he was not as big as I thought he was. A true Texas legend.

Westbrook knew how to pop pads

His open-field hits sounded like shotgun blasts.

I went to high school with him & we lifted weights together in off season in high school.Worster was as down to earth as anyone could be . He was a great baseball catcher. Could hit the ball a country mile . His recruitment was between LSU and Texas . He loved baseball but he loved the roar of the crowd. Loved Texas Longhorns. A extremely violent RB . Thank you for honoring him today . He was Mr. Wishbone. “ Hookem Big Woo” R.I.P.

Saw Bobby’s comments regarding The Great Steve Worster 2 time All American. I appreciate Bobby honoring Steve . He was an amazing person. A great person. When he ran on the field the crowd would always yell! “WOO , WOO,WOO” . I can still hear the crowd.. 58 years later !

A term that is overused in most cases but not this one.  Steve was my childhood hero.  Rest easy Woo.

Wooster was a helluva player.

Growing up, Worster was one of the legends I always heard about. Wish I could’ve seen him play.

Yep he sure was ...

One of the original 3 in the wishbone!

We wouldn't have beaten ND for the National Championship game 1/1/70 without Worster.  He gained 155 of the toughest yards I've ever seen.  Notre Dame was much larger than UT (with few exceptions), sitting right behind the Longhorn Band, I could see the punishment he took & overcame.  One helluva a performance, quite memorable to me.

He was indeed a childhood hero for many of us. He made that offense go. Many of his yards gained were by sheer will and toughness.
