When I was in college my Uncle used to take me to a few Raiders game a year. He was a devoted fan and season ticket holder who also knew a few players well, Jim Otto being the one I most remember.
I wasn't a Raiders fan but loved the Snake. Thanks for the memories.

The ladies loved him...and so did his teammates...and he was especially close to John Madden.

Kenny was known around those parts as a very kind and generous man.
Word got around that one Christmas he gave each of his front five a $10,000 Rolex watch.

Great memories, Kenny!

PS I also heard that Madden gave him license to call his own plays at times...uncommon in those days.
