Cookie may not have all the statistics but he was the best runner the Buffalo Bills ever had. Equally, he may not have all the fame but he was one of the best runners pro football ever had. Everyone should know the name "Cookie Gilchrist".
Can't celebrate the 50th anniversary this year of the '64 AFL Championship without Gilchrist and Saban on the wall!
I, too, believe it is time to put aside the issues that have kept Lou and Cookie off the Wall. Both were integral to the Bills rise to the top of the AFL in 1964 and 1965. What a great 50 year celebration of the first league title ever for the Bills it would be to have Lou and Cookie take their rightful places on the Wall of Fame.
He seemed to be the missing piece the Bill's needed in the 60's to win the championship. Do the right thing. Put Cookie's name up so other Bill's fans who never got to see him play along with Cookie's family can enjoy one of the greatest running backs ever.

He is my grandfather. I'm son of Tom Saban. He earned this right to be on the wall. Lets get him there
Two consecutive AFL championships. The only league championships in a major sport in Buffalo history. Enough said. Add Lou Saban to the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AddLouSabanToBuffaloBillsWallOfFame
Both deserve it.
Just do the right thing.. Way over due for both these Men who helped put Buffalo on the up in the AFL.
This is long overdue,get it done!
Cookie was the greatest fullback since Marion Motley and deserves to be added to the BuffaloBills wall of fame.
Long overdue
don't let fans forget the history
Time for the new owners to embrace the true past
Memories of a 10 yr. Old, thanks cookie!
It's time to do this. Make it right.
The adding of their names are way over due it time to correct this. Regards
Great player and coach combo! A must add to the wall of fame!

I had the opportunity of talking with Cookie back in 2002. We had a great discussion on his career and the 1965 AFL All American Boycott and how he played a major roll. And it just so happened that "Bullet" Bob Hayes which whom was close friend; I was able to understand what Cookie had been through. As a matter of fact Cookie is the one that contacted me to inform me that Bob was near death and to contact his family as soon as possible. I’ll never forget our conversations. A true athletic Cookie was but most important he was man with great integrity.
