1962 Fleer football card of former pro football linebacker Archie Matsos, whose entire seven year career was spent in the old American Football League. Matsos played for four different teams – Buffalo, Oakland, Denver and San Diego, and was an AFL All Star in his first four years. After 2 All Star seasons in Buffalo, Matsos was traded to the Raiders for 3 players, in one of the first moves made by Oakland’s new coach, Al Davis. It was the first of many shrewd personnel moves by Davis, as 2 of the 3 players sent to the Bills failed to make the team, while the third played only 3 games for the team.
