Green Bay Pakers Bart Starr 8 x 10 Photograph

Unframed: $30.00

As Vince Lombardi's quarterback, Starr's Packers won NFL Championships in the 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, and 1967 seasons. Following the NFL championships in 1966 and 1967, he led the Packers to convincing victories over the champions of the rival AFL in the first two Super Bowls. He is the only player to quarterback a team to five NFL championships. Starr was responsible for calling plays when he was quarterback, as was the norm at the time. One of his most famous play calls was in the Ice Bowl against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL championship game on the final day of 1967. With 16 seconds remaining in the game and trailing 17-14, the Packers called their final timeout. It was third down and goal from the 1 yard line. Coach Lombardi decided to go for the win rather than try for a tying field goal, not automatic in the frigid weather. Starr called for a quarterback sneak because the conditions made a handoff riskier than usual. The play was risky enough, because with no timeouts, the Packers would not have had enough time to regroup and call another play if the sneak failed. With the help of an excellent block on Dallas defensive lineman Jethro Pugh by center Ken Bowman and right guard Jerry Kramer, Starr scored the winning touchdown and the Packers won their fifth NFL championship in seven years. This historic piece of sports memorabilia is part of our black and white Collectors Series. All of these photographs are hand printed from the original negatives.
