Bucko Kilroy
Francis Joseph "Bucko" Kilroy played guard. Kilroy played 13 seasons (1943-1955) for the Philadelphia Eagles. He played on two NFL championship teams (1948, 1949 Eagles) and his best seasons were 1952-1954 when he was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He was run-blocking on the line when Pro Football Hall of Fame halfback Steve Van Buren tore up the gridiron.
