After being released by the Raiders in the pre-season 43 year-old George Blanda came back to lead Oakland straight to the 1970 AFC Championship Game. Blanda’s improbable come-back led Raiders’ long-time radio announcer Bill King to exclaim “George Blanda has just been elected King of the World”. This sterling silver trophy cup was awarded to Oakland’s “King of the World” by the Post Gazette Dapper Dan Club to commemorate that 1970 season. The 4.6 lbs. cup is 10” tall and measures 6” in diameter and is inscribed to George Blanda “FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL IN 1970” and dated “FEB. 7 1971”. The trophy cup shows slight tarnish and wear from age and displays beautifully. A fitting tribute to one of the greatest single-season performances in AFC history.
