The Golden Era of smashmouth football emanates from this crisp Type I photo of a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants from 1960. Measures 6x10" and depicts Eagles' linebacker Chuck Bednarik hovering over flattened New York Giants running back Frank Gifford. Image remains very clear and shows the game "in the trenches," with clumps of field grass scattered throughout and several players sporting heavy tape from injuries. Verso has stamp dated Nov 27 1960 with "Reserved Examiner Reference Library" above a clip of this photo and caption as they appeared in the newspaper. Note that, while it appears that Bednarik might be taunting the unconscious Gifford, the caption explains that he was actually celebrating that the play sealed the win for Philly, and that he was sorry the Giants' Hall of Fame back was injured. EX condition.
