All Raider fans remember “The Ghost”, Dave Casper. He played his college ball at Notre Dame and was drafted by the Raiders in 1974. In 2002 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the 13th Raider to be inducted.

Here is a memory from Casper from one of the most memorable games of his career, the 1977 AFC Divisional Playoffs vs the Baltimore Colts:

“A picture of me alone is rare. I was usually blocking or trying to catch passes and in a crowd. This is how I dressed for games, a helmet with no bar in front of my eyes. My nose bled often, I wore the same QB shoulder pads for 11 years and two smaller thigh pads. It was work, but fun, pain, but pleasure… when we won with Ken Stabler as QB, Madden as coach, and Fred B., Cliff, and our defense, we won often.”
