Wow! It's crazy to see the kind of things they were using as braces back then. I busted up my knee as a kid, so I'm really happy that I didn't have to wear anything like that! My husband is a big football fan, so i'm sure he'd love to see the actual knee brace that Joe Namath wore. Where did you find this? Rae |http://www.streetrdrx.com/medical-equipment.html
