Tommy Spence
Thomas Louis Spence (April 17, 1896 – November 27, 1918) was an American college football player. Spence also played on the baseball, basketball, and track teams.
Spence was a prominent fullback for John Heisman's Georgia Tech Golden Tornado of the Georgia Institute of Technology from 1914 to 1916 . He was posthumously elected to the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in 1976.
In 1915, near the end of the LSU game, he returned an interception 85 yards. He made a 40-yard drop kick field goal against North Carolina.
Spence was a starter for the 1916 team which, as one writer wrote, "seemed to personify Heisman." In Georgia Tech's record-setting 222-0 win over Cumberland College in 1916, Spence scored the second-most behind Everett Strupper when he netted five touchdowns. He was selected All-Southern that season. Walter Camp gave him honorable mention.
Spence was a casualty of the World War I. He is the namesake of Spence Air Base.
