CHICAGO — Chicago Bears great William “The Refrigerator” Perry has his 1985 Super Bowl ring back on his finger thanks to a 10-year-old boy.

Cliff Forrest of Fox Chapel, Pa., took $8,500 out of his college savings account to buy Perry’s Super Bowl ring in New York.

“He only played in one Super Bowl,” Cliff said. “I thought he would want it more than I did.”

So the boy asked his dad if he could give the ring back to Perry, who has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. The autoimmune disease attacks the nervous system and can cause paralysis.

But Cliff admires Perry and had heard of the famous Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX-winning team. Cliff’s parents agreed and set out to return the ring to Perry, taking a flight to Chicago and giving the former football player his ring before an autograph session.

In return, Perry gave the boy two autographed jerseys signed: “The Fridge, Thanks!”
