Bergey played a key role in the Eagles\u2019 rise during DIck Vermeil\u2019s first three years as head coach, culminating in a trip to Super Bowl XV. During his time with the Eagles from 1974-1980, Bergey was a four-time All-Pro and three-time Eagles MVP and set the NFL record for most interceptions by a linebacker.<\/p>\n<p>Bergey recorded 233 tackles in a single season with the Eagles and became the highest-paid defensive player in the league with a four-year contract for $1 million. He was a popular player who was the foundation of the \u201cGang Green\u201d defense that brought the Eagles back to the playoffs in 1978, 1979, and to the Super Bowl in 1980. He retired from professional football in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>Bergey was born in South Dayton, New York in 1945 and graduated from Arkansas State University in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. He was an All-American in college and was voted by fans as the Top Player in Arkansas State history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paawwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Chi-Ho-Sham-TEC-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.linnflux.tech\/paawwa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Chi-Ho-Sham-TEC-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/dev.linnflux.tech\/paawwa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Chi-Ho-Sham-TEC.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chi Ho Sham<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Immediate Past-President (2022-2023)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>American Water Works Association<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chi Ho Sham is currently an independent consultant who has been working on drinking water and source water protection, water quality assessment, watershed management, underground injection control, and natural resources management issues for over three decades.
