Dave Recher - C

Another backup Eagles' offensive lineman named Dave, without a football card...

Dave Recher was the Eagles' backup center from 1965 to 1968, playing in 46 games but starting none. The first photo is from his rookie season, when he wore #51.

After playing all 14 games, he was selected by the Falcons in the 1966 expansion draft.

Dave never played for the Falcons, and must have been released as there is no record of a trade. He returned to the Eagles in 1966 and played in 10 games, now wearing #50.

Recher also played every game in 1967, and 8 games in 1968. His roster spot was taken by rookie Mike Evans, who played 6 games (4 starts) in 1968.


Where's Waldo Dave?
