GREENVILLE – Danny Ford walked into the room, scanned all of the faces and broke out into a big smile when he spotted William “The Refrigerator” Perry sitting at a table signing autographs. Ford walked over to Perry, who was dressed in a nice sports coat and natty beret, and said, “What’s up, Pierre?”
Perry, laughing at the subtle jab at his headwear, launched into his own megawatt smile and clasped the hand of his former head coach. Two Clemson legends and a room not quite big enough to contain both personalities.
Perry was at the Embassy Suites in Greenville Thursday with Ford and his brother, former Clemson and NFL defensive lineman Michael Dean Perry.
