Defensive Tackle
No. 85
UCLA
"Galigher is a burly defensive line type whose size fits well into Charley Winner's scheme of enlarging the Jets. He has great strength and loves to hit people, playing in 13 games last year despite working with painful rib cartilage damage suffered at Miami early in the year. Galigher sat out the Baltimore game at Shea with a leg disorder, but was back to play the final eight in a row. He started at left end throughout but early plans called for his move to tackle.
Ed has had nagging injuries in each of his three years. He had a broken bone in his wrist in 1972 and in 1973 a badly sprained ankle kayoed him. Ed was drafted 4th in 1972 and as a rookie he played three positions (LT, RT, RE).
Galigher majored in engineering. He won the California JC wrestling championship in the last two seconds of the match. His hometown is Hayward, California."
