'67 Philadelphia Follies

Q.

A.

Simple reading comprehension this time time. The right side of the card gives away the answer - his knee injury slowed him down.

The next two, cards 126 & 124, go together.

Q.

I love how similar the two questions are, even down to the two names. I don't have the card in between, #125, but it breaks the string (Earl Leggett - "What has marred Earl's career?"). There really needed to be someone named Robert or Delbert asking about their offseason job.

Obert Logan, a native of Trinity, TX who played for the Cowboys as well as the Saints, was a cattle rancher. After his NFL career he also had a long career as an arena director in pro rodeo.

Elbert Kimbrough and his twin brother (Albert!) were the stars of the Galesburg (IL) High School football team that went undefeated in 1956, and played together at Northwestern. Albert did not play in the NFL, and went on to be a teacher at Galesburg. I'm not sure what his off-season job was, but after his NFL career he had a long career in business, and upon retirement worked as a substitute teacher in Galesburg.
