Al Bundy's greatest achievement is scoring four touchdowns in a single game during a high school football championship for Polk High, a feat he constantly refers to and uses as a point of comparison for the rest of his life. Al's fourth and final touchdown was a game-winning touchdown as he ran over Spare Tire. That fourth and final touchdown was done in the closing seconds of the game. As both teams lined up at the goal line for the final play. A cheer, softly at first but growing, began from the Polk High faithful. It rose and thundered in a crescendo as Bundy took the handoff and plunged across the goal line. Some say Bundy's knee was down, others disagree. What we do know is that cheer was a nickname that would follow Bundy the rest of his days. Al "Touchdown" Bundy. Al is a shoe salesman in a strip mall in the suburbs of Chicago now, struggling to make ends meet and support his family.
