The best were JOE PERRY, HUGH McELHENNY, JOHN HENRY JOHNSON.
Joe Perry was the same height and weight as Gore, but was faster off the ball. In fact he got the nickname "The Jet" from QB FRANKIE ALBERT, because he said Joe was at full speed when he took the handoff. Joe was from Compton and came to the Niners with the nickname, "The Compton Comet".
I was fortunate enough to get to meet Joe and Ollie Matson at Lincoln Park Golf Course when I was a kid and played with them about a dozen times. I was like a kid in a candy store talking and laughing with two of my greatest football heroes. Never forget it.
ya gramps, you tell'em whos boss!

They said if the NFL/niners counted stats prior to the merger Perry would be the niners all time rushing leader.
Hmmm so after doing some looking into, damn they're right.
First RB to hit consecutive 1,000 yd seasons?
11,744 Combined yds add 1,784 from the AAFC yrs ..well yeah he is a stud
prior to the merger they didnt know the ball could be thrown
prior to the merger, most television sets in houses were black and white and "computers" didnt have the calculating power of a flip phone
prior to the merger, football was s**t and nothing counts. it's a different game that they play.
