In the 1940's there really was no other team quite like the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Going undefeated and giving up under 10 points per game, while averaging over 35 on offense, the Irish rolled to the Championship. Lead by Heisman Trophy winner Leon Hall, the 1949 team would cap a dynasty of 36 victories 0 losses & 2 ties over the course of four years. Cited as the second best sports dynasty ever by Sports Illustrated, the 1949 team maybe the best to ever put on the gold. Offered here is a team signed football featuring 60+ members of the team; notables including: Leon Hart (Heisman Winner), Emil Sitko, Jim Martin, Larry Coutre, Ed Hudak, Jack Connor, Frank Epstein, Jim Mutscheller, Bob Kapish, Bob Williams, Paul Burns, John Panelli, Gus Ciffeli, Bill Wightken, Walt Grathaus, Bill Barrett, Art Perry, Bill French, Bob Benson, John Mazur, Bill Flynn, Jerry Groom, Bob Williams, Jack Landrym, Bob Toneff, Bill Hovey, and others. Easily the finest team signed by we have ever seen from the Golden-Era of Notre Dame football! Overall in fine condition with minor warping to the ball. Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a full letter of authenticity.
