Happy 80th birthday to Carl Cunningham! Cunningham played linebacker for five seasons in the AFL and NFL: 1967 to 1970 with the Denver Broncos, and 1971 with the New Orleans Saints. He had four career interceptions and two career fumble recoveries.
Today’s vintage football card of the day is Cunningham’s 1972 Sunoco Stamp. It was issued the year after his last pro season. He also appeared on a 1969 Topps Mini-Card, and in the 1969 Topps Broncos Mini-Card Album.
Second Houston Cougar this month! I meant to reply to your Elmo Wright post. I’ve known Elmo since our undergraduate days. We took a few of the same classes. He’s a wonderful guy.
