Former NFL defensive back Doug Plank is celebrating his 60th birthday today. Plank played from 1975 to 1982 for the Chicago Bears. Since 2001, Plank has coached in the Arena Football League, and in late 2012 he was named the head coach of the Orlando Predators. There is a video of the announcement and a summary of his career on the Predators web site.
Plank is pictured here on the green-bordered variation of his 1976 Coke Bears disc. He also appears on several other cards in the Vintage Football Card Gallery.
Happy birthday, Coach Plank!
