1966 Topps football card of former Buffalo Bills’ flanker Elbert Dubenion. After attending tiny Bluffton College, Dubenion was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1959 but opted to sign with the Bills and the new American Football League. Nicknamed “Golden Wheels”, he was one of the AFL’s most prolific downfield receivers, and helped lead the Bills to consecutive league titles in 1964 and ’65. Dubenion holds the AFL’s record for the longest pass reception TD in a playoff game, set in 1963 when he caught a 93-yard scoring throw from Daryle Lamonica. After retiring as a player, Dubenion was a successful talent scout for Miami, Atlanta and the Bills.

Loved Dubenion when he played for the Bills. Classy player and one of the best Bills receivers ever.
