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

Mike Kolen, who played linebacker<\/a> for the Miami Dolphins from 1970 to 1977, passed away on April 3<\/a>. He was 76 years old. Kolen played in Super Bowls VI, VII, and VIII: a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, a win against the Washington Redskins, and a win against the Minnesota Vikings. Super Bowl VII, the win against the Redskins, capped the Dolphins’ perfect 17-0 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s card of the day is Kolen’s 1972 Sunoco Stamp<\/a>. Kolen never appeared on a regular issue card–probably because the Dolphins had so many stars while he was playing–but he did appear on a few team issue photos and tribute cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
