From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , a 1962 Topps football card of former Green Bay Packers’ receiver Max McGee. McGee played for the Packers from 1954, through some terrible losing seasons, through 1967, surviving long enough to enjoy the winning years under Vince Lombardi. He had his shining moment in the first Super Bowl, entering the game – with a hangover from partying the night before – after starter Boyd Dowler was injured, and playing the game of his life, with 7 catches for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. After his football career ended, McGee became a partner in the Chi-Chi’s Mexican restaurant chain, and served as a color analyst on Packers’ radio broadcasts. He died in 2007 as a result of falling off the roof of his home while using a leaf blower to remove leaves.
