>Offered here is an old & original 1969 VINCE LOMBARDI original wirephoto photograph, PSA-Graded TYPE I Authentic!! Please see all seven photos, as they are an important part of my description. This vintage football photograph, encapsulated by PSA, measures approximately 8" x 10", and includes a still-attached wirephoto description on the reverse. Vince Lombardi was head football coach for the NFL Washington Redskins this one solitary season in 1969. As the attached description states, coach Lombardi was in Redskins' office as he met with young fans of his football team, giving each youngster a banner-pennant (the young black girl seems almost giddy with excitement!). <>This photograph of Coach Lombardi shows a "softer side" to his persona as a tough disciplinarian.  Also pictured is Redskins guard Ray Schoenke, whom Lombardi coached while heading up the Green Bay Packers and were now reunited once again. This vintage press photo's stamp (faint) is still present on the reverse, though you can still clearly see the date: July 27, 1969. Of special note are the Washington Redskins two football pennants pictured: they both feature the rare "helmet spear" variation. 

     >History: Vince Lombardi was born in Brooklyn, New York. The iconic and legendary football coach led the Green Bay Packers from 1959-67, winning Super Bowls along the way. He did not coach in 1968. Lombardi returned to coaching in 1969 for the Washington Redskins (now the Washington Commanders) before officially retiring. Lombardi passed away the following year in 1970, at the age of fifty-seven.
