Classic Sports Card of The Day

07 Dec

From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , a 1963 Fleer football card of former San Diego Charger defensive lineman Ernie Ladd. At 6’9″ and 315 lbs., Ladd was a giant in the game in the 1960s. He anchored a Charger defense that was one of the best in the early years of the American Football League. Nicknamed “The Big Cat”, Ladd helped the Chargers win the AFL title over the Boston Patriots in a 51-10 rout in 1963. Ladd also worked as a professional wrestler in the off-season during his career.
