Ernie Clark, who played linebacker for six seasons in the NFL, passed away on March 10. He was 86. Clark played from 1963 to 1967 with the Detroit Lions, and in 1968 with the St. Louis Cardinals. Before his pro career, Clark starred at Michigan State.
Clark never appeared on a regular issue football card, but he did appear on a few Coke Caps and team issue photos. His 1965 Lions Coke Cap, today’s “card” of the day, is pictured here. You can see the full set of 1965 Lions Coke Caps in the Gallery.
