1955 Topps All-American Ken Strong The GOAT of his era Vintage 69-years Old HOF

Description: The Gale Sayers, O.J. Simpson, Bo Jackson of his time. 1930's NFL ALL-DECADE TEAMCollege & PRO HOFCost is a fast food meal or 1/3rd a tank of gas for a 69-(almost 70) year old Bubble Gum card of a legend. As a halfback for the 1928 NYU Violets football team, he led the country in scoring with 162 points, tallied some 3,000 total yards from scrimmage,and was a consensus pick on the 1928 College Football All-America Team.Strong gained widespread fame when he led NYU to a 27–13 upset victory over undefeated Carnegie Tech. He threw two long touchdown passes, rushed for two touchdowns, and kicked three extra points, leading Grantland Rice to write:This attack was led by a runaway buffalo, using the speed of a deer, and his name was Ken Strong. He ran all over a big, powerful team, smashed its line, ran its ends, kicked 50 and 55 yards, threw passes and tackled all over the lot. Today he was George Gipp, Red Grange and Chris Cagle rolled into one human form and there was nothing Carnegie Tech had that could stop his march.Carnegie Tech coach Walter Steffen said of Strong's performance: "This is the first time in my career that one man was good enough to run over and completely wreck an exceptionally good team. I can tell you he is better than Heston or Thorpe."
