Iconic Raiders quarterback to be enshrined a year after his passing at age 69
Ken Stabler, the leader of the renegade Raiders teams of the 1970s, posthumously will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in Canton, Ohio.
The fun-loving left-hander who studied playbooks by the light of the jukebox and was at his best in NFL games with names – The Holy Roler, Sea of Hands, Immaculate Reception and Ghost to the Post – led the Raiders to their first Super Bowl championship in 1976, was named NFL MVP in 1974 and was a member of the league’s 1970s All Decade Team.
