A former UPS driver has sued Joe
Namath, alleging he was attacked by the Hall of Fame quarterback's
dogs while making a delivery at his Florida home.
Attorneys for David Gunter say he hasn't been able to work since
the 2007 incident in Tequesta, about 90 miles north of Miami.
Lawyer Steven Slootsky says Gunter required four surgeries after
suffering injuries to his neck, back and knee.
The lawsuit was filed last week in West Palm Beach's Circuit
Court.
Namath's attorney did not immediately respond to e-mails and
telephone messages.
Gunter isn't the only one to have problems with Namath's dogs.
Complaints have been filed against two of them, and one was ordered
last month to be muzzled and leashed full-time after a hearing
officer determined it to be "dangerous."
