There used to be a joke in the industry that if you saw a college player driving a Datsun 280Z, then you could forget about signing him. It was widely known Doc had a hookup at a Datsun dealership in Southern California.
Doc had known Tony since he was a little kid and had represented his uncle, former USC and NFL linebacker Chip Banks. We paid Tony several hundred dollars a month.
A Datsun 280Z?? We're talking mid 1970's.

We're talking mid 1970's.Yea that little nugget wasn't really applicable to current players but I thought it was hilarious that people took Datsun's as bribes in college. Don't know if I beleive half of what he wrote but it did throw alot of people under the bus.
