PRO FOOTBALL'S ULTIMATE FAN ASSOCIATION

RING OF HONOR MEMBER

AWARDED POSTHUMOUSLY

Billy Kay Kyrkostas (William Gus Kyrkostas) “Captain Jet” was inducted into our organization in the Class of 2004, was honored by the "Visa Hall of Fans" as the New York Jets Ultimate Fan of 2003, and was inducted into the Pro Football's Ultimate Fan Association "Ring of Honor" in 2020.

In 2018, Billy was The Jason “Beardown J” "Carlson Courage Award" winner.  This award is for the PFUFA member who throughout the previous year has personified Honor & Courage and Inspired our membership through a display of our mission statement in their day-to-day lives.  Sadly, Billy passed away on the day that his award was to be presented during the PFUFA annual reunion Sunday breakfast on August 3, 2018.

Billy was a lifetime Jets fan who enjoyed the New York Jets, a semi-professional umpire, and attended his beloved New York Jets games for years until he moved to Florida and retired.

Billy was honored and enjoyed being a PFUFA member. He was a friendly man with a big smile.  Billy was always looking for other ultimate fans and gave out a number of PFUFA draft cards to a number of our members.
