Fuzzy Thurston leads the way for Green Bay fullback Jim Taylor against the Philadelphia defense. We think this is from the Packers 49-0 blowout of the Eagles in 1962 when Taylor rushed for 149 yards and 4 touchdowns. That would make it from Chuck Bednarik's, #60 at the left, last season. Also seen here are rookie Bobby Richards (#68) tangled up with guard Jerry Kramer and #55, linebacker Maxie Baughan is also seen.

Packer fullback Jim Taylor dashes into a mud-covered hole in the Cleveland Browns defense during the 1965 NFL Title game. Packer lineman on the left are Fuzzy Thurston (#63) and Ken Bowman (#57). The Brown defender engaged with Bowman looks like Middle Linebacker Vince Costello while the other could be Dick Modzelewski. Bart Starr is to the far right. Taylor rushed for 96 yards as the Packers would come out on top 23-12.

Classic Packers-Bears clash in the early 1960s.

Fullback Jimmy Taylor (#31) gets ready to assist.
