American football halfback in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Early lifeBorn in Asheville, North Carolina, Justice attended and played high school football at Lee H. Edwards High School (now Asheville, N.C., High School), where he was a part of two undefeated seasons.[1] He averaged 25 yards per rush his last year in high school.[2] His senior year, his team outscored the opposition 400-6.[3] World War IIAfter high school, Justice spent four years in the Navy in World War II. During that time, he played on the football team at Bainbridge Naval Center.[1] His nickname Charlie "Choo Choo" was given to him because of the way he dodges tackles. One of the officers remarked, "He looks like a runaway train, we ought to call him Choo Choo." College careerAfter the war, Justice was heavily recruited by Duke, North Carolina, and South Carolina. He was quoted as saying that he believed that an athlete should play in the state that he is going to make his career in{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}, so he chose the University of North Carolina. Being a war veteran, he knew he had no need of an athletic scholarship. Justice sent a proposal to both universities asking each to allow him to attend on his G.I. tuition money and give the scholarship to his wife. Only North Carolina accepted this. Thus Justice attended and played college football at the University of North Carolina under Carl Snavely, where he played tailback for four years.[1] Justice was also an active member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity in his years at UNC. While there, he was named an All-American in 1948 and 1949, and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting both years.[1] While at North Carolina, Justice ran or threw for 64 touchdowns and set a team total-offense record of 4,883 yards, which stood until 1994.[4] He was named the Most Valuable Player in the 1950 College All-Star Game, when he led the college team to a 17-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.[1] He ran for 133 yards which was 48 yards more than the entire Eagles Team.[4] He had runs of 33 and 45 yards and caught a pass for 40 yards.[5] During college, Johnny Long and his Orchestra recorded the song "All the Way, Choo Choo." Professional careerJustice was drafted in the sixteenth round of the 1950 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, but his professional career was hampered and ultimately cut short by injuries. In an exhibition game in 1952 in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Justice rushed 11 times for 199 yards (18.1 average), with runs of 46, 65 and 54 yards. He sustained a broken arm in the third quarter.[5] After footballAfter football, Justice owned an insurance firm. He and his wife, Sarah, had a son, Ronnie, and a daughter, Barbara. He died in 2003.[4] In 1970, the University of North Carolina dedicated a section of its athletic center in his name, calling it the Charlie Justice Hall of Honor.[1] Justice Street in Chapel Hill, NC is named after him. He was also named one of the all time 70 Greatest Redskins.[6] In 1999, Sports Illustrated named Justice the 14th Greatest North Carolina Sports Figure.[3] The 22 (his jersey number at UNC) yard line at Kenan Stadium is colored blue in his honor.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web | work=College Football Hall of Fame | url={{College Football HoF/url|id=1692}} | title=Charlie Justice's College Football HOF profile | accessdate=2008-08-26}} 2. ^Fimrite R (October 15, 1973) A Long Locomotive For Choo Choo Sports Illustrated 3. ^1 {{cite web | work=Sports Illustrated | url=https://www.si.com/vault/1999/12/27/271866/the-master-list-the-50-greatest-sports-figures-of-the-century-from-each-of-the-50-states | title=The 50 Greatest Sports Figures: North Carolina | accessdate=2015-08-19}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web | date=October 20, 2003|author=Goldstein R | work=New York Times | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/20/sports/charlie-justice-football-star-known-as-choo-choo-79.html | title=Charlie Justice, Football Star Known as Choo Choo, 79 | accessdate=2008-08-26}} 5. ^1 Richman M (5/15/2009) Flashback: 'Choo Choo' Justice An Electrifying Runner {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100119003225/http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Flashback__Justice_An_Electrifying_Runner_1790.jsp |date=January 19, 2010 }} Redskins.com 6. ^{{cite web|work=Washington Redskins |url=http://www.redskins.com/team/history-70.jsp |title=History: 70 Greatest Redskins |accessdate=2008-08-26 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080531062153/http://www.redskins.com/team/history-70.jsp |archivedate=2008-05-31 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 7. ^https://alumni.unc.edu/events/n-c-history-series-charlie-choo-choo-justice/ External links{{Portal|Biography}}
