    The Bills Fan

    I just find this amazing, glorious, and amazing again.

    At age 8, Tranter bought his first pack of football cards, complete with the Topps chewing gum and including a Jack Kemp card. That year, he attended his first game, when the Bills beat the Denver Broncos on Oct. 24, 1965, in War Memorial Stadium .


    “The anticipation and excitement running through me was almost uncontrollable as I rode with my Dad in his 1964 Ford station wagon to my first live football game,” he said. “As we neared the stadium, the concrete facade of the stadium rose up from the horizon. It seemed so big, and the sight of it made my heart race with excitement.”


    Tranter still has his first three collectibles from that day: his $4.50 ticket stub, a Bills bobblehead featuring a player wearing number 31 (from the team’s original logo) and a 50-cent game program.


    It's worth reading to the end to see how Norwood signed his helmet.
