Chuck Bednarik, or Concrete Charlie, was known as one of the most devastating tacklers in the history of football and the last full-time two-way player in the NFL. Bednarik played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1949 through 1962 and, upon retirement, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967 (his first year of eligibility).

This 16x20 photo features Bednarik pumping his fist after his infamous hit forced a Frank Gifford fumble to secure an Eagles victory. The hit also had knocked Gifford unconscious and severely concussed him. It would be 18 months before Gifford would play again.

This photo is signed in blue by Bednarik and inscribed "This f.... game is OVER!" as well as "Sorry Frank!" and "HOF 67."

This photo includes a Radtke hologram and COA.
