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.
