1957 Florida State (FSU) vs Abilene Christian (Burt Reynolds)

Description

1957 Florida State (FSU) vs Abilene Christian. Burt Reynolds was on this FSU team.
Burt, better known as 'Buddy' to his friends, loved FSU football, and no matter how big a star he became, he never forgot his friends from the FSU football family.
Reynolds played halfback at Palm Beach High School, where his teammate was future
New York Yankees
manager Dick Howser, before going to Florida State in 1954 on a football scholarship.
Reynolds ran for 134 yards and 2 touchdowns on 16 carries in his freshman season, and also had four catches for 76 yards. But he suffered a knee injury that cut the season short, and he missed the 1955 season after surgery.
He returned to Florida State in 1957, but a car accident cost him his spleen and reaggravated his knee injury, ending his college football career. He dropped out of FSU and, after working odd jobs in New York, returned to Florida, where he became a drama major at Palm Beach Junior College.
He received an honorary degree from Florida State in 1981.
This program is solid ad complete "EXCEPT" Page 5/6 is missing. Note on Table of contents (photo #2) that Page 5 is "About the A.C.C. and Page 6 is "The Marching Chiefs Present".......All other page are firmly in the programs including the rosters, center line ups, articles, and much more. There are two small stickers stuck next to the school names on the front cover revealing the final score of the game.
Otherwise, the  program in my opinion is in Excellent condition. This 63 year old piece of memorabilia would make a great addition to any collection.  I mail to US States only.  Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
