Hugh McElhenny

McElhenny highlights

Hugh McElhenny, Hall of Fame halfback with 49ers, dies at 93.

I became a 49er fan as a kid in the early 1950s because my father, who played football in high school, was a fan. McElhenny was my favorite (click on the photo caption to see how he ran.)

McElhenny was part of a great Niner backfield: Quarterback Y.A. Tittle, halfback John Henry Johnson, and fullback Joe Perry.
