On this day, Joe threw for 200 yards and 2 TD’s. An eight-time Pro Bowl candidate and top ten all-time in pass attempts, completions, passing yards and passing TD’s, Joe Montana set the standard of excellence for all contemporary quarterbacks. However, it is his two regular season MVP awards, three Super Bowl MVP awards, and four Super Bowl Championships that propel him into the upper echelon of elite professional athletes. Montana was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2000. Gold Bike helmet with SF decals on each side, original face bask, padding and player number (16) on red tape on the back. It appears that the clips may have been replaced. This helmet is properly marked, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent wear with hit marks and sweat staining. Accompanied by a copy of the LOP from the family of a young boy suffering from brain tumor who was flown to S.F. to see Niners vs. Rams at Candlestick Park (1-23-83). After the game, Joe gave the boy his helmet. The letter states in part: ‘William needed to wear protective head gear because of his brain tumor, which is why Joe gave him the helmet. Also accompanied by the original Lelands listing.
