  • 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.

  • APBA's GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS of the PAST
    APBA’s GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS OF THE PAST - Vol. 2 1. PHILADELPHIA 1949 The Eagles breezed to their third straight Eastern Division crown losing only once in twelve games, a 38-21 setback at the Bears October 16. Philly finished 4 1/2 games ahead of second place Pittsburgh. The Eagles' success still rested on the twin pillars of their outstanding 5-2-4 "Eagle Defense" and a ball-control offense built around All-Pro RB Steve Van Buren, who led the league in rushing attempts, yards, and rushing TDs. The other speedy HB, Bosh Pritchard, provided a wide threat. The pilot of the highest-scoring offense in the league, Tommy Thompson, has been somewhat overlooked for his contributions to the Eagles' success. The slick ballhandler was adept at faking a handout, hiding the ball on his hip, and flinging a pass downfield. 2. GREEN BAY 1966 This team won Super Bowl I. The Packers went 12-2 during the regular season beating the Dallas Cowboys in the “Ice Bow” on quarterback Bart Starr’s one-yard sneak for the game winning touchdown. Two weeks later, the Packers soundly beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I. This was Starr’s only MVP season. This was the second of Green Bay’s three consecutive NFL championship teams. Hall of Famers at every level on this team. Many of them All-Time Greats. 3. MIAMI 1972 The only team to have a perfect regular season record and win the Super Bowl. During the 1972 season, Bob Griese’s ankle was broken in Week 5 as he was sacked by San Diego Chargers defensive tackle Ron East and defensive end Deacon Jones.

  • Bambi! Lance Alworth
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 11 (1982) BAMBI! by Don Smith He was known as Bambi, the smooth and graceful fauwn bounding free and easy among the behemoths of pro football. He was the 6-0, 184-pound ace of the San Diego Chargers flashing that 9.6 speed, the high jumper's spring and those eager, grasping hands that spelled sudden disaster for even the best- prepared opponent. He was Lance Alworth, the premier pass catcher of an entire decade and the first true superstar the American Football League ever produced. Too bad, the experts of the 1960s used to say, that this great talent couldn't really be tested against the superior competition the proud and stately National Football League had to offer. In 1978, Lance Alworth's "poor league" background no longer was in question for, early that year, he became the first AFL player to be named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, elected in his first year of eligibility following the mandatory five-year waiting period after retirement. Alworth's accomplishments on the gridiron are legendary. In eleven pro seasons, he caught 542 passes for 10,266 yards, and 18.93-yard average, and 85 touchdowns. He ranks second all-time in reception yardage and average gain per catch and third in catches per season -- 49 -- and scoring receptions. Bambi was named all-AFL seven straight years from 1963 to 1969 and played in the league's last seven All-Star games. He caught at least one pass in every AFL game in which he played, including a then- record string of 96 straight regular-season games and 105 straight if you count two AFL title contests and the seven All-Star game appearances.
