Happy Birthday, Elbert Drungo and Brian Schweda!

Two players in the Vintage Football Card Gallery are celebrating milestone birthdays today: Elbert Drungo and Brian Schweda are both 70.
Elbert Drungo was an offensive lineman from 1969 to 1978 for the Houston Oilers and Buffalo Bills. He is pictured here on his rookie card, a 1974 Topps. He also appeared on a 1975 Topps card and a 1972 Sunoco stamp.
Brian Schweda played defensive end from 1966 to 1968 for the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. He was one of the original Saints, obtained from the Bears in the 1967 NFL Expansion draft. As far as I know, Schweda never appeared on a card, but he did appear on a 1969 Saints Doubloon, pictured here.
Happy birthday, Messrs. Drungo and Schweda!

Happy Birthday Mr.D’. I’m the English chap that suggested you’d probably have done wonders for Manchester United. Missed seeing you last week. Managed to get my own left leg broken the other day. Get my first ever surgery next week. Best regards to you and your good lady, Mrs. D’. God bless.
