Can anyone help date this old Redskins photo? My old man just showed me this picture he was given a while ago that only says “redskins” on the back. I know that’s Sonny up front...

You beat me to it. Shiner played for the Redskins 64-66; Gogolak 66-68, so 66 is the only possible year.

Awesome picture. Thanks for sharing

How about #55 Chris Hanburger. Great picture!

I see Sunny, Sam, and Bobby Mitchell. The HC is Otto Graham. Taylor and Jerry Smith are there too. Mid to Late 60s. Before Lombardi.

Bobby Mitchell #49
Is that a young Dave Butz in #65?

This picture is from 1966. Butz came to the team in 1975.
I believe #65 is Vince Promuto

Thanks. I thought the guy looked more Italian and it was too early for Butz since it was a young Sonny.

This is between 1966 and 1967. That looks like coach Otto Graham on the left by #47. I do not see Pat Fischer #37 in the pic, he came here in 1968.

A lot of the pieces of our 72 Super Bowl run are in place here Len Haus, Jack Parker, Charlie Taylor.

Ok maybe it’s not Pardee but I see Brig Owens (s) and George Stark.

46 is Ricky Harris

Sonny and Sam are left to right on your radio dial

The presence of #3 (Charlie Gogolak) and #14 (Dick Shiner), alongside Sonny's #9, suggest this is a photo of the 1966 team, as that was the only season during Jurgensen's tenure that those three numbers were all assigned.
Dude well done!
Was Edwards Bennett Williams a part owner during this time?
Yeah; he got an ownership stake in '62, and stepped up to run things in '65. His first big hire was Otto Graham, who I believe is the gentleman in the lower left corner of the photo.
My dad is saying he went to Georgetown Prep with Ed’s son and he used to give them pregame speeches. He says there better pregame speaker lol
