Classic Sports Card of The Day

63fleerburford

1963 Fleer football card of former pro football receiver Chris Burford, who played his entire eight year career in the American Football League for the Dallas Texans, who later moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs. Burford was an astute route runner and a favorite target of the Chiefs’ star quarterback of that era – Len Dawson. Burford was a clutch receiver who was very underrated, although he was a two-time AFL All Star, and also played on a pair of AFL title teams, in 1962 with the Texans, and again in ’66 with the Chiefs club that advanced to the very first Super Bowl against Green Bay.
