1926 Important and early photograph of football superstar Red Grange from the year he changed football forever by leaving the NFL and starting his own professional league, with nothing but his superstar name. Grange is pictured here as the new league was announced, along with Big Bill Edwards who was one of the football heroes behind the idea. Taken just after the 1925 season ended, this is a significant piece of football history that is being offered here for the first time ever. Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. One of the most important images of Grange that we have ever handled and it grades a perfect 10/10!
