For those who do not remember him, Frank Gifford was an All-Pro running back for the NY Giants, who had an often-impressive twelve season career, which included multiple invitations to the Pro Bowl, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. But he is best known for what happened to him in 1960 --his career was curtailed by a vicious (but legal) hit by Chuck Bednarik of the Philadelphia Eagles. He suffered a concussion and other injuries and was never the same. Of course, today's game is very different from how it was played in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but according to the newspapers of his day, Gifford was considered a valuable and very versatile player. We enclose a link to a biography of Frank Gifford's life and career.
