History
Published on : 1/1/2005
Hall of Famer George Blanda earned his status as a pro footbal legend in 1970 when, at age 43, he had memorable performances over a five-week stretch. He led the Raiders to four victories and tie during that time that included last-minute heroics which elevated him to "cult hero" status. Here's an exhibit found in the Hall's exhibition rotunda that features Blanda's heroics.
