duddy

Returning to Canada in the early 1970s, Kotcheff directed 1974’s adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” starring Richard Dreyfuss.

Duddy has worked for the Chargers since 1993, when he was a junior in high school and working as a ball boy at training camp.

Frantic, Duddy sprinted up the stairs to the press box to fix the problem.

At training camp, it was Duddy’s job to transport dejected players to the airport.

He and assistant equipment manager Kevin Duddy have been with the franchise more than 30 years, and now oversee an entire wing of “The Bolt” — the team’s new training facility in El Segundo — that’s dedicated to equipment storage.
