The end of an era…

Here’s the Gameday Pro program from Larry Wilson’s final game as a St. Louis Football Cardinal….December 17, 1972. Wilson retired after 12 star-studded seasons and 5 years later was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He went out a winner at Busch Stadium that day as the Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-23 in front of 35,000 fans.
