Since the USA is out of the World Cup, I thought I'd pull something up from what we call football here. This is a scan from the first pro football game I ever shot, way back in 1978 when I was working for a daily paper. The game was between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints and the Packers won 28-17. I was shooting with a Nikon F2as (no motor drive) and Nikkor 300mm f2.8 (no autofocus) using Tri-X 400. The Saints player running toward me was Tony Galbraith.
Like most things 70's, that was a great era of NFL.
