RIP Marv Hubbard.

[@maxpuppy96]

I had a coach in high school who played with Marv at Colgate.

[@michaelvonahnen3050]

Great men !

[@buffalobraves9]

Hubbard is right. The head official went to the phone and called security and said “If I tell you that what happened is not a legal play how many policemen can you give us to get outtta here?” The guy on the phone said “Six”. The official replied “SIX??? ok then that’s Six for Pittsburgh!”.

[@MA_808]

thank you for the thrills and the memories, Raiders

[@stevengriffin5349]

I watched both in Oakland on Monday Night against Jets ..... Joe Namath . Saw Marv play tennis in a Bay Area All Star event ..... great athlete ( big guy and could move ! )

[@frankdenardo8684]

On that game. Frank Gifford who hosted Monday Night Football mentioned "Lamonica had Warren Welles wide right". Welles was in prisonp

[@robertcherry1369]

These were some tough son of a guns I remember when they were in their prime I remember when Otto was beginning to have trouble with that right leg

[@victorgallardo2693]

Marv was an animal. A great guy on your team for sure. HATED to lose. I once called the 2nd foul, excuse me, the 2nd T on him in a basketball game. Took three raiders to take him to locker room. Coincidentally, my classmates and I were at the very first practice the raiders had because they used our high school in 1959. We were at summer school.

[@douggauzy6258]

It was a great play ! Quit whining ! I saw it on TV , I loved it 🙏

[@kendallevans4079]

Get outta here!

They are both football legends, of great courage, with stellar careers. That said, a lot of excuses here. Tatum himself wrote that he could have broken up the pass. Instead he went head hunting on Frenchy Fuqua, just for the joy of it. That's raider fault number one. Then there's not pushing the player out of bounds violating the most cardinal rule in football. Play to the whistle. That said, they are correct about the rule at that time. They did get screwed by the technical rule, however this was in the pre-replay era. There were countless games that were decided by bad calls at that time. Even with replay, it still happens to this day.

[@robertlamkin6464]

I grew up a Raider fan. I was 12 when this game occurred; it ruined my Christmas. However, in watching the replays, I think it is clear the officials made the right call. I blame Tatum. If Jack would have just knocked the ball down, the game is near forgotten history; but no- Tatum was more interested in knocking someone into next week. As a result, the ball touched him and the force he applied propelled the ball to Harris.

Well, Tatum succeeded in knocking Fuqua--and his Steeler teammates--into next week, and next week's AFC Championship game.

[@anthonydileonardo8156]

John Fuqua admitted he never touched the ball and Jack Tatum hit him too hard and fast

Does anyone remember Marv singing this song? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIjYf4aOfcqJq80
