What a career!  26-years playing in the NFL, just amazing!

RIP George.

He was definitely one of the reasons I'm a Raider fan even now (it aint easy being silver and black).  I remember the late 60's run where George seemed to win almost every game with a late field goal.  Great player, he will be missed.
