Scoop Cooper: Triimuph & Tragedy: The Life and Death of Pelle “Gump” Lindbergh It has been almost four decades now since Flyers goalie Pelle "Gump" Lindbergh lost his life in an automobile accident in the early morning hours of November 10, 1985. Here are my memories of my friend and his brilliant but all too brief career.

Just over 48-hours later, Lindbergh lost control of his beloved Porsche on a rain slicked road following a team party and hit a stone wall less than a mile from the Flyers' practice rink in Voorhees, New Jersey. His career and life both came to sudden and premature ends -- although his heart continued to beat in the chest of another in whom it was transplanted a short while later.

With a blood alcohol level of 0.24 - a fact you purposely and shamefully omit.

Rest in peace, Gumper

This is a reposting of a blog of mine originally written in 2014. (I have added a note to clarify.)

This is a great story about a very tragic situation. I remember when this occurred but did not know the full story. Thank you for sharing and may he rest in peace.
