I do not have a particular one, but as a kid I thought Erik Kramer was the best QB in the league lol. I even had my parents buy me his jersey.

Dick Butkus cloths-lining a guy (Chuck Hughes / Detroit) up the middle. The guy had a heart attack and died. I remember as a kid that my dad and everyone were so into the defensive violence at the time. Not much to cheer for on offense so I suppose it was a bit of pent up frustration. After that event though, I never accepted cheap shots or non-clean hits in any sports again. Stopped watching hockey for instance because that sport is just hopeless with it. Play clean or get the hell out.
