First things first. I would like to thank MG and Big Hitter for creating this board and extremely happy it is dedicated to the memory of Chris Allen. In my opinion CA was someone very special. If anyone had a question on Giants or NFL history for that matter Chris would either have the answer at hand (usually) or know where to find it. It was a sad day when we lost him and I am so glad this board will help keep his memory alive.
And now on to the subject. How many of you old farts (I'm one too and proud of it) remember Vince Costello and how he played for the Giants? As a kid growing up in western NYS we would get all the Cleveland Browns games on tv. Costello was their middle lb and a darn good one. He never made the pro bowl and probably was a little undersized for a mlb but he seemed to be all over the field making plays. The Giants picked him up before the 67 season and he played mlb for the Giants in 67 and 68. The Giants finished 7 - 7 both years and finished 2nd in their division. I seem to remember Vince playing quite well during his stay with the Giants but I can't remember any specifics of him. Do any of you guys remember how he played and anything else about him??? This would be quite a bit of interest to me. Thanks.
