1969 Topps football card of former pro quarterback Daryle Lamonica, who played 12 seasons in the AFL and NFL. Known as “The Mad Bomber”, he started his career in Buffalo, where he spent four years backing up Jack Kemp. He was traded to Oakland prior to the 1967 season, in one of the worst trades in Bills’ history, and wound up taking over as the Raiders’ starter. He led them to the Super Bowl in his first year there, and remained the team’s starting signal caller for eight years, winning the AFL MVP Award twice, in ’67 and 1969.
