Earl Morral 72nd B-day today,

Morrall replaced the injured Bob Griese for the Dolphins during the team's October 15th win over the San Diego Chargers. The victory gave Miami a 5-0 record, with Morrall building on that win to lead the team to the first undefeated regular season in the NFL since 1942. After notching a win in the team's first playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, Morrall struggled against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game, leading to the return of Griese. However, Morrall's efforts did not go unnoticed when was named American Football Conference Player of the Year also in 1972.
 
I know that Don Shula gets upset everytime Earl gets neglected or people forget about him.

He did lead the undefeated 72 team to the playoffs.

I would be willing to bet he still sports a crewcut and wears black high topped shoes.:wink:

Happy Birthday Earl.
