Millions of readers thought that Henry Clark, the most-abused member of football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's famous Junction Boys, was dead and buried.
Author Jim Dent reported on Clark's luckless life and death in his 1999 bestseller about Bryant and the hell camp he ran for his first Texas A&M team.
As Dent told it in "The Junction Boys," Bryant head-butted Clark into unconsciousness because the boy's poor play enraged him.
The book detailing Bryant's brutality was so compelling that Dent landed a movie deal with ESPN, which will air "The Junction Boys" on Dec. 14.
But Clark said yesterday that Dent fabricated the head-butting story, and that "The Junction Boys" is loaded with other errors.
Yes, to Dent's shock, Henry Clark is alive and condemning sections of "The Junction Boys" as a fraud.
"First, I want to say that I'm not dead. Then I want to say that Bear never attacked me," Clark said yesterday from his home in Fort Worth, Texas, where he has lived for 21 years.

Fortunately, this will take Urbs off the market for USC. There's no way a "woke" PAC 12 program is going to hire him with that groping video out there.
