  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • Lynn Swann for Use Anytime
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 3 (2001) LYNN SWANN By Joe Horrigan Courtesy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Lynn Swann was more than a great athlete. He was a performing artist whose stage was a football field. His weekly Sunday recitals were showstoppers that left audiences awestruck and cheering for more. His leaping fingertip catches were made with the grace of a ballet dancer. His pass patterns across the middle were run with the fearlessness of a circus highwire walker. And, like other great entertainers, his finest performances often came in the final act, when it meant the most. Although truly a performing artist, Swann’s performances didn’t earn him Oscars or Emmy Awards, he was instead rewarded with his profession’s equivalent – All-Pro, Pro Bowl, and Most Valuable Player accolades. And now topping the list of his career honors, is the one bestowed upon him in January 2001 – pro football’s highest honor – election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Born on March 7, 1952, in Alcoa, Tennessee, Swann grew up in San Mateo, California. His father, Willie, was an aircraft maintenance worker and his mother, Mildred worked as a dental hygienist. It was Mildred Swann who encouraged “Lynn the performer,” who as a youngster had a seemingly endless source of energy. His mother enrolled him in dance classes in an effort to harness some of his exuberance. “When I was in grammar school,” he recalled, “I felt more comfortable on the dance floor than the football field.” From the age of four until his senior year in high school Lynn studied various forms of dance including ballet, modern dance, and tap.
