Johnny Lujack passed away at age 98, a Notre Dame legend who served during WWII, and then returned home to win the 1947 Heisman Trophy! He also played for the Bears in the late 40s before an injury cut his career short. A great player, and a prolific autograph signer for decades....may he rest in peace.
Another one of the great QBs from western Pennsylvania (Connellsville).
Yes! I knew there were several, but was amazed to read this on the Steelers website:
"Of the 23 quarterbacks currently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an amazing six of them have their roots right in Western Pa. - George Blanda (Youngwood, Pa.), Johnny Unitas (Pittsburgh), Joe Namath (Beaver Falls, Pa.), Joe Montana (New Eagle, Pa.), Dan Marino (Pittsburgh) and Jim Kelly (Pittsburgh/East Brady, Pa.)."
I know Stan Musial and Ken Griffey Sr. are from Donora, PA as well....a sports state if ever there was one!!
Pete Maravich, Mike Ditka, Tony Dorsett, all from Aliquippa, PA, north of Pittsburgh.
Oh my gosh, didn't know they were all from Aliquippa!!
What a cool old card! Retouched by an artist to colorize the image before the advent of modern print techniques!
