Early in this century, I had about three telephone conversations with the now former RAMS Equipment manager, Todd Hewitt.
One resulted in him providing me with a personally customized RAMS helmet with the horns cut in two as you'd see the players wearing in games as opposed to what would be available for purchase at retail.
But, we also (for reasons that I don't recall now) talked about Lawrence McCutcheon's jersey number with me
informing him that 'Larry' wore #31 at the beginning of his RAMS career (I remembered seeing the roster in Street & Smith's 1972 Pro Football Annual). Todd told me that when he mentioned this to Clutch, whom was still employed by the team at that time, that his response was something like, "I wore 31?!?". I wondered if he ever actually wore #31 or if the #31 Street and Smith's indicated may have been premature or in error.
Well, lo and behold, as I was scrolling Google images this morning, looking for images of Dick Gordon in a RAMS uniform (#5),
I came across the attached image of a RAMS team picture from 1972. The rookie out of Colorado State (RAMS) is pictured to the extreme
lower right of the photograph.
Trivia question: Which two future RAMS Head Coaches are in the photo?
