This was sold as a John Smith (possibly preseason) game worn jersey from the New England Patriots. Smith played for the Pats from 1974-1983. He was 6'0" and 183 lbs. Some of you might remember two things about Smith: He was lining up for a Field Goal when Howard Cosell broke the news that John Lennon had been shot and he benefited from a convict clearing a path in 1982's Snowplow Game where the Pats beat the Dolphins 3-0.
I bought this thinking it was a 50/50 shot of being game used. The problem for me is that it's a kicker's jersey so it doesn't show much wear (no team repairs, ).
Does anyone with any New England Pats or jersey knowledge have any insight if the tagging looks right, etc.?
