I thought only the CFL used the Flanker position, wrong again. Nice classic looking card.

Bobby Joe was my favorite player in my early days of Big Red fandom!

Somehow, Bobby is only 31 in this picture. Looks like a 49 year old today, tho not many look so 'murican like that anymore. You know he had to be home in time to watch Lassie.

Bobby is a "straight up" Texan. (Still living!)  Almost 6000 yds receiving and 38 TD's.  Went for over 900 rec in 3 different seasons (14 games). Nice card!
