He was Notre Dame's very first All-American and one of the most versatile players in the history of college football. But George Gipp's legacy may ultimately be his famous deathbed words to legendary coach Knute Rockne, imploring his team to "win just one for the Gipper." The inspired Irish went on to a 12-6 victory over undefeated Army in 1928 as Gipp succumbed to a streptococcal throat infection. This framed and matted photo of the halfback, quarterback, and punter measures approximately 4.5" x 7", is in VG-EX condition with a couple of scratches, while the very rare signature and inscription rates 8-9/10.
