Classic Sports Card of The Day

13 Sep

1955 Bowman football card, front and back, of former Baltimore Colt fullback Alan “The Horse” Ameche. He was NFL Rookie of The Year in 1955, and a four-time Pro Bowler. His pro career was relatively short, as he played only six seasons, but Ameche carved out a place in league history when he scored the winning touchdown in the NFL’s first sudden death overtime championship game against the New York Giants in 1958, a contest now known as “The Greatest Game Ever Played”. Ameche, who died in 1988, was a cousin of noted actor Don Ameche.
