Bert Metzger
Bert Metzger was an American football player.
A, guard from Chicago, Metzger played at the University of Notre Dame and was nicknamed the "watch-charm guard" because of his relatively small size. Metzger played a key role on the Fighting Irish teams that won national championships in 1929 and 1930, and he was named a consensus All-American in 1930. Coach Knute Rockne said that Metzger was the best guard he had ever seen.
After his football career ended, Metzger worked as an executive at Bowman-Dean Foods. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982.
