Bobby Dillon, the Green Bay Packers' career leader in interceptions who lost his left eye following two childhood accidents, died Aug. 22 in Temple, Texas.
He was 89.
The New York Times reported that Dillon's daughter, Karen Gooch, said the cause was complications of dementia.
Dillon played safety for Green Bay from 1952 to 1959, setting the franchise record for interceptions with 52, including four against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day in 1953.
Dillon returned five interceptions for touchdowns and led the league in interception return yards in 1956 with 244.
Dillon led the Packers in interceptions in seven of his eight seasons, including three seasons with nine: 1953, '55 and '57.
