Ben Davidson was a bit ruthless.
He did a good job playing a bad guy swordsman in Conan The Barbarian. Almost killed Conan. 😉
He went to prison for computer fraud!
that pic is very reminiscent of the Matt Millen – Pat Sullivan pic
Ben also had a magnificent mustache!
If you’re interested in Retro/Nostalgic NFL content from the 40s-90s you should come check out r/oldschool_NFL !
If you read Madden’s book it was actually a hit from Ike Lassiter a couple plays before that caused the break. Every play was a personal foul back then on both sides of the ball.
