Warren Bankston American Football - July 18th, 2015
Warren Stephen Bankston (born July 22, 1947, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is a former professional American football player (TE/RB) who played ten seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders.
During the 1976 season, from which the Raiders went on to Super Bowl XI, Bankston, as team captain, called the coin flip correctly for every game but one. He called it correctly again at the Super Bowl itself, which the Raiders won. He was very popular with the fans due to his practice of throwing the football into the stands when he scored.
