Lawrence Matthews “Sunny”[1] Sartori (August 20, 1917 – November 6, 1980) was an American football player and coach.
A native of Sheppton, Pennsylvania, Sartori attended Sheppton High School.[2][3] He played college football at Fordham University.[2] He was captain of the 1941 Fordham Rams football team that defeated Missouri in the 1942 Sugar Bowl and was ranked No. 6 in the final AP poll. He was also selected to play on the College All-Stars against the Philadelphia Eagles in 1942.[4][5]
He played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a guard for the Detroit Lions in 1942 and 1945. He appeared in 11 NFL games, two as a starter.[2] His football career was interrupted by service in the Navy during World War II.[6]
In 1947, Sartori was the player-coach for the Shenandoah Presidents of the Pennsylvania Professional Football League.[7][8] After his playing career ended, he coached football at Seton Hall, Brooklyn Prep, Rutherford High School, and Don Bosco High School of Ramsey, New Jersey. He later worked as a mutual clerk at the Yonkers Raceway.[6]
Sartori was inducted to the Fordham University Hall of Fame in 1980.[9] Sartori died in 1980 at Paramus, New Jersey.[6]
