Dolfan Denny

Dolfan Denny was the name given to Denny Sym by Miami Dolphins football fans. He was known for cheering on the NFL team for 33 years as a one-man sideline show, often leading Miami crowds in cheers and chants. He usually wore glittering orange and aqua hats, and did so since the Dolphins' first game in 1966 until 2000. He then retired his act that year at the age of 65 after suffering chronic health problems (at one point, he had to cheer while seated due to knee problems)^[1]

Death

Denny Sym died on March 18, 2007 of kidney disease and cancer at the age of 72.^[2]
