NOTES:
Joe Nash also appears in both Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl. He along with Bob Nelson (GB) appear in a 3-4 defensive set, and at the snap could be timed to dive and sack the quarterback. While this is considered an exploit of the game, we banned it entirely from competitive play.
Joe is well loved by old school Seahawks fans. He has returned on occasion as Seattle alumni and has even raised the flag as the 12th Man. He also worked for many years on a pit crew in NASCAR.
Joe’s Pro Set 1989 card really sticks out to me. I just love the photo of the action with the action going on around him. Just so well framed.
