Toyota HiLux review (02/05/2012)

I’M fairly certain that in this part of the world the name Joe Klecko means fairly little to most people. Some sports fans might think they remember the name from somewhere, but to fans of the National Football League (NFL) and in particular to fans of the New York Jets, Klecko is a living legend.

Although he has yet to be inducted into the NFL’s Hall Of Fame in Canton, Ohio, Klecko is destined to one day join that pantheon of American football greats, but he has already been enshrined in the history of the sport as being one of only two players to have been selected for the Pro-Bowl in three different positions.

Aside from being, along with Mark Gastineau, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam, a member of the Jets’ much feared ‘New York Sack Exchange’ defensive unit, Klecko was one of the club’s most popular players of all time, a fact recognised by the Jets when they retired his number 73 jersey. Only two other Jets players, legendary quarterback Joe Namath and Superbowl winning wide receiver Don Maynard have been accorded the same accolade by the team.
