For those of you that weren't around to see the fun (NOT) decade of the 70's, Ron Johnson was one hell of a running back. First 1,000 yard runner in team history. He was as good as there was at that time. A joy to watch, he would have been a huge name if the Giants were a powerhouse. 14  out of 14 found this valuable. Do you?

Do you remember a game the Giants played in the early 70's - they were way behind in the 4th quarter and came back to score 3 touchdowns to win. The last came in the closing seconds as Ron Johnsom swept left, knew he was going to score as he neared the endzone and raised his hands in a touchdown signal as he went in. I think it was against the Redskins. Yankee stadium went nuts. Everyone was hugging each other in the stands. Just a great moment. Do you remember what year that was and who they played? 6  out of 7 found this valuable. Do you?

I think it was against Washington in 1970. I was young. It's the first year I can remember seeing the Giants in the regular season... Do you find this valuable?
