This Wilson "The Duke" football has been signed by 40 Green Bay Packers from the 1962 World Championship team. The mighty Packers of the 1960s went to 6 NFL championship games, won five and earned the title of Team of the Decade. Bill Forester played football for the Green Bay Packers from 1953-63. He won All-Pro honors in 1962 as a linebacker and this autographed football has been in his possession ever since, until now. The signatures are written in black ink and include Hall of Famers Vince Lombardi, Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Jim Ringo, Paul Hornung, Willie Wood and Emlen Tunnel (1959-61). Other notable signatures include Jerry Kramer (very faded), Fuzzy Thurston, Henry Jordan, Dan Currie, Max McGee and Bill Forester. The signatures range from 5-8 and the ball itself is in excellent to near-mint condition. The football comes with a letter of authenticity from Green Bay Packer, Bill Forester (1953-63).
