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

Happy 80th birthday to Bob Neff<\/a>! Neff was an original Miami Dolphin; he played defensive back and returned kicks and punts for the Dolphins from 1966 to 1968<\/a>. Remarkably, according to pro-football-reference.com, he had kickoff returns of 90 and 95 yards<\/a>, but he didn’t score a touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s card of the day is Neff’s 1967 Royal Castle Dolphins card<\/a>. This set of cards was issued by Royal Castle restaurants in the Miami area–two per week during the 1967 season, according to the backs<\/a>. Neff’s card is one of the easier cards in the set to find, though it is by no means plentiful. The eleven short prints in the set are extremely scarce; I have seen only one or two of most of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as I know, this is Neff’s only appearance on a card. He never appeared in a regular issue set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the full set of 1967 Royal Castle Dolphins cards<\/a> in the Gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
