\"Bob<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bob Simmons<\/a> is celebrating his 70th birthday today. Simmons played guard from 1977 to 1983<\/a> for the Kansas City Chiefs, and in 1984 for the USFL’s Chicago Blitz. He played college football at the University of Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s card of the day is Simmons’s 1979 Chiefs Police card<\/a>, one of ten in the set<\/a>. Simmons never appeared on a regular issue (i.e., Topps) card, but he did appear on a few other Chiefs team sets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
