Lot 606: Marion Motley Football Photos (3)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||
Marion Motley is one of the all-time great running backs in football
history. Paul Brown, the innovative and revolutionary football coach
of the Cleveland Browns, called Motley the best all around running
back he ever coached. This was saying something since he also
coached Jimmy Brown. This lot contains two great images of Motley
with the Browns, and one from 1941 when he starred at the University
of Nevada. The copy reads the “212 pound Negro is as fast as he is
powerful”. The images are 8 x 10 (2) and 5 x7 and are NM in
condition, clarity and contrast.
