1960 Topps football card of former NFL defensive end Marion Campbell, who played eight seasons in the league with the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. His real name is Francis Marion Campbell, so he was appropriately nicknamed “The Swamp Fox” during his career. The highlight of his playing days came in 1960, when he helped the Eagles win a surprising NFL championship, handing Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers their only postseason loss of the Lombardi era. Campbell had a long coaching career after he retired as a player, serving as head coach of the Eagles and two different stints as head man for the Atlanta Falcons, but unfortunately has the third lowest winning percentage in NFL history among coaches.
