oldmanfan Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Great player and I will always remember being in the Rockpile as a kid for the Hit Heard Round the World. And yeah, probably too soon. Sympathies to his family. 3

Chandler#81 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 He was a true star of the AFL. By the time he became a Bill, we were terrible and Keith’s best days were behind him. RIP 2

Formerly Allan in MD Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Lincoln was a true star of the AFL. Helped make it the class act it was. 2

Too soon?? Thanks for sharing this picture @chandler#81. For any Bills fan my age, this is the ultimate memory of Mike Stratton introducing himself to Keith Lincoln. RIP Keith - you were a great player for the AFL in the 60's 2
Augie Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 RIP A great player in his time. One more reminder that our time here is limited, so make the most of it. Had a very special birthday weekend getaway for my wife, with the son and his GF joining us. Make time for those special memories. 1 1

Gronkowski, take note. Stratton has his head down. Depending on the point of contact (shoulder or crown of helmet) this would be flagged today.

I’d cherish one. 2 hours ago, TigerJ said: Did he lead with the head, or turn it aside and lead with the shoulder? Drove his shoulder into Keiths next season.
TigerJ Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Video shows it was a textbook tackle. Drove his shoulder into Lincoln.
