John Unitas was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers trying to backup QB Ted Marchibroda.
#77 admiring Unitas right in the middle of a play.
!8 years later he walked of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium field voted the NFL's greatest player of the first 50 years...
One last look around the yard he made famous.
Unitas died a few years later, perhaps Baltimore's most recognized and greatest sports figure...
MLB HOF'er Brooks Robinson the only other sports figure in Baltimore on the same level as Unitas, shown here attending the funeral.
I agree WNO its a by gone era....
A glorious era of sport that we will never see again...
Yes it was when we were kids, but you can't tell me these kids today will ever look back with the same fond memories...
May as well post this here, nothing new but a look back at the Steelers dynasty..
