Timeline

1904

Gilbert Laverne "Gibby" Welch (December 24, 1904 – February 10, 1984) was an American football player who played college football for the University of Pittsburgh.

1924

Welch next attended Bellefont Academy, before enrolling at the University of Pittsburgh in 1924.

1925

He played three seasons of football at Pitt from 1925–1927, including the first game ever played at Pitt Stadium.

1926

He broke Red Grange's single season yardage record in 1926 and was an All-American in 1927.

Welch also ran track for Pitt in 1926, 1927 and 1928.

He was one of the country's leading college discus throwers, and also competed in the shot put, javelin and broad jump.

Welch was the captain of the football and track teams as a senior.

He was the signal-calling left halfback in the single-wing offense run by coach Jock Sutherland in 1926 and 1927.

In 1926, Welch broke the single-season yardage record set by Red Grange, gaining 1,964 yards in just nine games.

Welch was described as "one of the most dazzling open field sprinters in the collegiate ranks," an athlete whose "sensational runs are aided by his excellent use of twirls and pivots through an open field."

1927

He was unanimously selected as an All-American at the halfback position in 1927 by, among others, the Associated Press, United Press, Collier's Weekly, Central Press Association, Hearst newspapers, New York Sun, Billy Evans, and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Highlights of Welch's 1927 All-American season include the following:

1928

He later played professional football for the New York Yankees in 1928 and the Providence Steam Roller in 1929.

Welch was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and attended Parkersburg High School, where he was successful in football, basketball and track.

Welch also played professional football for the New York Yankees in 1928 and the Providence Steam Roller in 1929.

He signed with the Steam Roller after the Yankees disbanded.

A newspaper story announcing his signing by the Steam Roller noted:"''Gibby', who was once known to have been addressed as Gilbert, functions effectively as a punter, pass dispatcher or receiver, line perforator and broken field runner. It is understood that the Roller management was forced to quote the highest figures ever whispered into a pro football player's ears before Welch affixed his signature to a contract. 'Gibby' was thrown on the open market by the recent dissolution of the New York Yankees.'"

1931

After leaving professional football, Welch worked as a football coach at Morris Harvey College in 1931.

He later became a leading real estate man and businessman in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

1948

In 1948, Welch gained attention when he was charged with felonious assault with intent to kill with a deadly weapon.

Welch was charged with beating his third wife, Gladys Welch, after two months of marriage in November 1948.

1956

In 1956, the Charleston Daily Mail called Welch "one of the most fabulous characters ever produced in West Virginia athletics."

1968

As of 1968, Welch's career total of 4,108 total yards was still a school record at Pitt.

1970

Welch's rushing records at Pitt stood for more than 50 years until they were broken by Tony Dorsett in the 1970s.
