1954 Bowman football card of former pro football lineman Francis “Bucko” Kilroy, who had a long 13 year career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Kilroy was a three-time Pro Bowler and was named to the NFL’s All Decade team for the 1940s. When his playing days ended, he stayed in the game, first becoming an assistant coach with the Eagles but eventually moving into the front office as an executive for three different teams – the Redskins, Cowboys and Patriots. While in Dallas, he was responsible for making the risky pick of Roger Staubach, who was serving in the military at the time but in the long run turned out to be a forward-thinking choice that helped the Cowboys win championships. He also served as New England’s general manager from 1971 until 2007 and is credited with building the current Patriot dynasty.
