Happy 85th birthday to Roger Shoals! Shoals played tackle for nine seasons in the NFL: two with the Cleveland Browns, six with the Detroit Lions, and one with the Denver Broncos. He was a member of the 1964 Browns team that won the NFL Championship–the last Browns team to do so.
As far as I know, Shoals never appeared on a regular issue football card–not unusual for a lineman, unfortunately. He did, however, appear on a 1972 Sunoco Stamp. The stamp actually came out after his retirement in January of 1972, but I’m happy he finally made an appearance on collectible.
You can see the original set of 1972 Sunoco Stamps in the Gallery. I hope to post the update set sometime soon, as well.
