An absolute beast of a runner, who, like Earl Campbell, never let a tackler get off without absorbing maximum impact. He was the toughest Raider back to bring down, by far. How many shoulder pads and face masks did this stud destroy before his running style destroyed him? Along with Snake, Marv Hubbard remains my favorite player from those great 70s teams. He was a true Raider through and through. RIP, Mother Hubbard, and thanks for the autographed picture that you sent to this then-fourteen-year-old fan!

[@tracycosta6373]

Great story. I remember 44 and Bill King calling there goes Mother Hubbard . Priceless memories . Then came van egan.. close but not the same

[@jonhenson5450]

Van Eeghan from Colgate also, ironic

[@robertledford499]

Chiefs fan/Raider hater from their first year in KC and remember that on key plays he was almost unstoppable. Arm tackles didn't do it and it took more than one tackler to bring him down. Violent. Epitomized Raiders hard nosed football. I loved those AFL days.

[@dennissaunders5247]

#44 OLD MOTHER HUBBARD. BRUTAL BADASS RUNNER. R.I.P MARV HUBBARD. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY. RAIDER LEGEND.

[@Mike-yg8ig]

I loved watching Hubbard play back in the day. He ran like an angry bull.

[@russbolinger1648]

A true throwback! I met him briefly when he found out I dated big-size girls. He asked me to have a beer with him. He was over weight and wanted me to ask my girlfriends for some of their diet pills. I was a big fan of his so I got him back in shape and we became life long friends. A real loyal dude. Not sure if there is many left. RIP

[@stevegullins9479]

I remember this great Raiders running back, Marv was All Raiders, growing up watching 1970s Pro Football Marv, will be always number 44 Raiders running back.

[@dg8994]

Snake loved to tell stories on Marv. He was a true American badass!! Picture perfect Raider!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Hubbard hard as nails FB/RB. Always respect.

[@JRF1961]

One of the greatest Running Backs in the history of the NFL!!!

[@natureboy1313]

Grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa in the 70's. The Steelers/Raiders games were better than the SB. I loved those Raiders teams. I respected their players so much. Marv Hubbard was 1 of the greats.

[@johnconger6841]

Great football player , I remember watching him in the 70s and he played the game better than most.

[@lesschoenberger3070]

Never knew he signed on with Denver in 1968 but it didn't last. Respect from a long time Broncos fan, he was a pain to play against!!

[@randyhanson4973]

My first football Jersey ever 44 Hubbard

[@kevinvaughan7134]

RIP MARV HUBBARD A TRUE RAIDER

[@steveoconnor1527]

Watched Marve hit a golf ball off a sidewalk in Salamanca on a bet. Never scratched the club. He could sing and play guitar as well. When my mother-in-law from Germany was visiting and introduced to him, she understood he was a famous football player and she asked him what his real job was. I think he never forgot that.

[@weldonwenturine3395]

Very high yards per carry very very impressive!!

[@lotpb]

Loved Mother Hubbard , man was great especially against Kansas City

[@robertmarbella7715]

Great player

[@geebee8937]

I met him at a Raiders Booster Club meeting at a sports bar in Huntington Beach. He was very nice. In my opinion he was one of the greatest fullbacks of all time.

[@mireyaporter3631]

Right after Marv Huuard, the Raiders had another star running back from Colgate-Mark VanEgan.

[@tomsmith5216]

We got to know van Eeghsn and his wife thru my daughter and his daughter Katy. They were so down to earth and you'd never know he was a football star. Nice people.

[@user-db6il7xe8y]

I used to deliver newspapers to Marc. He always gave me a generous tip 👍🏻

[@mikemartin9751]

He was a real raider along with the mad bomber I remember them well.

[@jamesdistefano5020]

One of the toughest

[@johnhess5104]

Knew him well when he spent a post graduate year at New Hampton School. Great person as well as a great player. RIP.

[@RWildekrav66]

Anyone that ran over KC Chief players , no matter what year they played or what team they were on . Are definitely alright with Me . Marv , You were a Beast !

[@joemilbrandt9320]

I went to the same high school as Marv. Randolph NY. While playing for Oakland and being a great NFL player Marv was instrumental in forming a Midget league system at Randolph. The teams are still the Randolph Raiders. Due in great part to Marv and Ginny his wife, the high school team, Randolph Cardinals have won many New York divisional championships. We appreciate their commitment to their home town teams!!!

[@arvantis]

He went to Colgate. Not short on the IQ power either!!!

[@mmaranta785]

So did Mark Van Eeghan another good one

[@kendallevans4079]

I miss the fullback position. Such a staple of good old NFL football. Marv was the best of many good ones we had starting with him. Pete Banaszak, Mark Van Eeghen, Kenny King, Frank Hawkins, Jon Richie...We even had Tom Rathman for one year. Alec Ingold IMO got screwed over by management but he did score the first ever TD in Allegiant Stadium.

[@haijihunt5057]

Glad he got the ring

[@keysersoze5920]

RIP “Mother.”

[@rogerwilliams5366]

One of my ALLTIME Favorites ♥️♥️♥️

[@user-nt9yk5ht8p]

I grew up in Red House New York. Marv ‘Butch’ Hubbard was my neighbor two doors down. An idol of mine in my youth.

[@al6347]

You didn't tackle MH you got ran over by him. A great blocker . He always had a cut on his face. RN4L.

[@6400az]

In 1969 , the Raiders starting fullback was Hewrrit Dixon.

[@michaellauletti6552]

Can't beat a good full back

[@michaeltootikian4402]

Great running back 🏈

[@dyates6380]

Fun fact. Back in the time of this video I was a young guy living in Buffalo New York, and a family on the street - direct from Greece and WONDERFUL people, the whole family, had a very old, VERY basic (no water or any type of plumbing) private cabin in Allegany State Park in southern western New York. My brothers and I would often go with the two boys, and sometimes their dad, to the cabin on weekends. I was probably seventeen or so and I and the two brothers were there for a weekend. It was usually just to hike around the woods and even have a couple of beers, even though, yea, we were underaged but we did no harm and weren't driving anywhere. Marv's mother lived up the country road and we ran into her at a store in Salamanca on that Friday on the way in while we were buying food for the weekend. What a SWEET lady, and the kicker was she asked us if we were going to church on Sunday. LOL. We said ....... "Oh, yea ... sure". We had NO idea where the church even was in Salamanca, but it being such a small town (at least back then fifty years ago - and it probably still is) we'd find it. She said she'd see us there. LOL. To our surprise, SHE showed up at the cabin (mind you, this was a very remote part of the park that wasn't actually in the "rentable" cabin area, and way, way down a country road with only a couple of farms along it, past a closed (unlocked) gate and a few hundred yards into the woods. VERY secluded area) at eight thirty on Sunday morning to drive us. LOL. We were surprised, and a "little" annoyed, but we went and enjoyed it. She was an absolute sweetheart and she got a kick out of us asking all about Marv and the Raiders. We were in awe of him. She thought the whole NFL thing was just a little hobby for him.

Upstate NY Boy done good. Mad Dog Sweeney 🐕

[@michaellauletti6552]

Before Hubbard was huet Dixon and after Hubbard was Mark van Egan

[@tomlebudzinski7716]

VanEeghen and Hubbard: COLGATE, baby!!

[@rcl1955ca]

It’s actually spelled Hewritt Dixon

[@johnvolk8324]

Chiefs' fan here. Always respected great Raider RBs like Hubbard, Dixon, Van Egan. Ben Davidson and Jack Tatum? - not so much.

[@RWildekrav66]

The last two were cheap shots .

[@johnvolk8324]

@@RWildekrav66 I was a teammate of Darryl Stingley at Purdue. Stingley was the Patriots WR Tatum needlessly hit and paralyzed in an exhibition game. He never visited D.S. or expressed his sorrow. Madden, on the other hand visited him every single day he was in the hospital in Oakland. Years later, through intermediaries, Tatum let it be known that he might want to visit Darryl. People thought it might be to make amends. It turned out he was getting ready to publish a second book, "They Still Call Me the Assassin." Tatum lost his legs to diabetes. Some would call that Karma.

[@haroldswick9962]

He was a bone jarring fullback that gaining yardage by sheer strenght. He never gave up on a run.😮😮😮😮😮

[@stephenboeder6591]

Animal on the field but the nicest guy off season, I’d meet up either him at the Casino club near his home in Castro Valley Ca. , , him like the other players in there in old faded jeans and a tee shirt , you’d never know he was NFL if it weren’t for his size ! He drove an old Ford Maverick with space tape on the side that said Marc Hubbard. He was also a recording artist and his hits were on the juke box at the Casino “Fullbacks ain’t supposed to cry” What a fun for life guy , he is extremely missed

[@williambutler3103]

Correct me if I'm wrong, while playing for the Raiders, wasn't he once paired in the backfield with a fellow Colgate alumni, Mark Van Egan?

[@obbor4]

No. Hubbard was generally paired with Charlie Smith or Clarence Davis. Van Eegan, a junior version of Hubbard, but with a bit more speed and less power, was paired with Clarence Davis first and then Arthur Whittington.

[@brucedavis3816]

Hubard Banasak and Van Egan were the same person!!!!!

[@garykosloski7976]

Tough runner!!

[@danielgallegos6884]

This was back when the NFL was brutal. It's a pansy league now!

[@42NORRIS]

"Hubbard has a 49 year old wife???" Yes, his wife was 49 for a year of her life, but what you meant was: "HUBBARD HAD A WIFE OF 49 YEARS", two children, and five grandchildren. At the time of his death.

[@jameskirchner2655]

The position of full back doesn't exist He was a true full back

[@kelliparra2483]

Definitely could be in the HOF. He out performed John Riggins when Riggins was with the Jets. One of my favorite Raiders in the 70's. Another miss by the HOF along with Jim Plunkett.

[@mjn3544]

There was a now defunct magazine called Football Digest that I subscribed to back in the 1970s. I believe it was in a 1974 issue they had an article about the great middle linebackers of that time talking about who they thought was the toughest runner to tackle. All of them are Hall of Fame linebackers and I remember most of them, Willie Lanier of the Chiefs 8x Pro Bowl, 3x All Pro, Hall of Fame (HOF); Nick Bouniconti of the Dolphins, 8x Pro Bowl, 5x All Pro, HOF; Dick Butkus regarded by many as the best ever, 8x Pro Bowl, 5x All Pro, HOF; Bill Bergey, Bengals, 5x Pro Bowl, 2x All Pro; I believe Ray Nitschke was n there too from the Packers, also in the HOF. I figured they would mostly say it was Larry Csonka but it wasn't him. They said while Larry is difficult to bring down he wasn't the hardest. Marv was almost universally tagged as the hardest to bring down because he punished tacklers. He hiit them like he was trying to punish them. Lanier lamented that they had to play the Raiders twice a year and sometimes 3 times due to playoffs. Hubbard would slip tackles but if he couldn't, he lowered his head and slammed into Lanier with all hid might. But the 4th quarter he would see them hand the ball to Hubbard and Lanier said, "Oh no. Not him again." Butkus said he got his fill of Hubbard in the Pro Bowl. The AFL team was lined up inside the 10 and going for a TD. The ball went off tackle and the runner was coming Butkus' way. Hubbard was lead blocker and hit Butkus so hard it not only knocked him on his arse, but blew him clean out of the endzone. Yeah ... my favorite fullback of all times, ole Mother Hubbard. He averaged just under 5 yards a carry (4.8). Csonka lasted a couple more years but his lifetime average is 4.3. That was how good he was.

[@keithmotsinger918]

TUFF ONE < Kinda reminded me of Jim Taylor and John Henry Johnson among others.

[@hezamachine]

Marv was drafted in 11th round (277th overall), not 11th pick.

[@ScottOlsen-lj9wk]

I loved Hubbard one tough sumbitch. That’s when nfl football was real football.

[@bradleysear3985]

He was a human train tractor , he would tell the opposing defense ( hang on boy's we are going for a ride)!.

[@obbor4]

In that Pro Bowl (back when they played real games) when he got ripped off for the game MVP by O.J. (1973), it was a huge thrill seeing Marv bulldozing through the attempted tackles of Alan Page, Butkus, Merlin Olsen, etc. He shredded them like cheese while piling up over a hundred yards on about thirteen carries. It's a drag that none of those Pro Bowl Games can be found on KZbin. I can remember when the entire left side of the Raiders' offensive line (Dalby, Shell, Upshaw, and Casper along with Snake, and Branch, in 1977) all lined up together for half of the game making it look nearly like a regular season game at The Oakland Coliseum. Those were the days!

[@johndoe-lk5eg]

I am sorry, many greats on that team, ROD MARTIN.

[@jonhenson5450]

The Ivy League

[@johnvolk8324]

Colgate is not an Ivy League school. The "IV"s were Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and, I believe, Penn. Later on, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell were added.

[@zcam1969]

ole mother Hubbard i seen him play tough man football . NFL is a joke today !
