Gerry Bertier
Gerry Bertier (pronounced with a hard ''G'' sound (like Gary); August 20, 1953 – March 20, 1981) was a prominent Virginia high school American football player. He is best known for his participation on the 1971 Virginia State Champion T. C. Williams High School team and their portrayal in the Disney film ''Remember the Titans''. After the conclusion of the 1971 season, Bertier was involved in an automobile accident, that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Despite this injury, Bertier remained an active athlete, participating in the Paralympics and winning multiple medals.〔(''Bill Yoast'' ).

Williams which bears his name.
== Early life ==
Bertier's parents divorced early in his childhood (around age 8) and he was raised primarily by his mother, until she remarried to Robert Agnew. As a child and young man, Bertier was described as an amiable, goal-oriented individual.〔 Growing up, Bertier frequently discussed his lifetime goal of winning a gold medal in the Olympics, and as an active participant in various athletics, seemed to be on track for this goal.
