Simple in the long run. Fact is he went into banking after his career and was a big time businessman. He parlayed the money he made his a player, into a very successful career. He couldn't live like he does, with the pittance that Billy Sullivan was willing to pay him.
@@leoderosia9279 Great man and player. But the native Americans, Mexican Americans, afro Americans, Irish Americans.. . even Chinese Americans ( railroad ) built this country. The US was built on the backs and labor of many minority groups.
I grew up with John Allen in Canton, Georgia. His Dad worked for my Dad. He was a great friend all those years ago and I was always proud to call him a friend of mine.
@@jiveassturkey8849 he lives there now but he went to Albertville High School. I went to Guntersville High School. My mother cleaned all the Hannah family's house so he has been in my life all my life.
@@briancanterberry3085 so he is one of those Marshall county people. What's wrong with those people? I've met several, and I've never met anyone from Marshall County that I've liked.
He wasn't the player that he was in the 86 Super Bowl. His knees especially the one was bone on bone and his shoulder. Yet he still battled through. Mike Ditka pissed me off as I remember him mocking John after the game about his best offensive lineman ever status saying the Fridge man handled him. John should of laid Ditka out. John brought joy and some great teams to a awful Patriots orginization by the weasel Sulivans. You are a Patriot and a big part of what they have become. Toughness, work ethic and a passion to win!!
This man was a monster. Old story when he was at Albertville AL high school was on the first play of a state playoff game he broke two seperate jaws on one play.
I met Mr Hannah as a kid in about 1978. It was then that I got a true sense of the size and stature of the men that play this game. John more so than 75% of the players. He’d still be one of the greatest if he had played in this modern era.
John ,u have been on my mind. I have meet u a few times in Gadsden Alabama. I also meet u in a hog barn in Albertville, Alabama as a young judger of 4h and FFA judger. U always bought 5he champion ever year. Thanks John love to meet u again. Brad Martin a veteran and friend I never forget u.
He was a pro bowler from day one to the day he left after the 1986 SB. He had hurt his shoulder that season and said if he "couldn't play like John Hannah" he would never play another down. They failed to mention the fact that he went into banking and business after he was a Patriot and was highly successful making FAR more money than he ever did as a football player. He actually had to BEG Billy Sullivan in the 1980s to pay him a mere $50,000 a year. He could have made more money on other teams and any team in the NFL would have had him. He was a loyal Patriot. God bless the hard working John Hannah's of the world.
I watched every pat game when he played and I don't remember him ever getting beat by an opposing lineman! It would have been nice to see him retire with a super bowl ring or two but it just wasn't in the cards, I guess. Have to settle for top 100 best of all time.
I’m a couple years older than John Hannah. But I’ve been a patriots fan my entire life. This man exemplifies what’s best in the world of football and life! He deserves all the accolades is the best Guard ever. But he also deserves the accolades for being a fine man, I enjoyed watching the story he has come full circle and did it well👍👍‼️‼️👏👏
I love gronk but Hannah is still 2nd best player we ever had despite all of the success since 94 . It took a Tom Brady to surpass him...the ol had to block back then too and could not hold like now so can u imagine if hog was allowed to hold? The patriots offensive line was probably best in NFL from 76 to 78 with Leon Gray, lenkaitis, Sam Adams, russ Francis, Hannah, Shelby Jordan and they set a rushing record that stood for over 40 years.
@@jiveassturkey8849 John Hannah who started 100 games at LG with the Patriots in the 1970s with a majority of those games featuring Ernie Adams on the Pats coaching staff? M'kay.
I understood 2 bulls, 60 bitches, I like the odds. BS aside, he was a monster. Grew up watching the Pats and going to Foxboro a lot (tickets were dirt cheap, got kicked out one time and bought tickets again before half time...). Just a pleasure to watch and learn. Went from a tackle in HS to a guard in college, when you pull like the bull you know the train. I was stationed in AL two times as a Soldier, looking to back again as an old man.
We get labeled the same in NC John, but we know we are just good Ole boys, whatever ,there are much worse, People and labels. Enjoy your farm, cows and the years left. You certainly earned it. Thanks for the memories being a Patriot and with Crimson Tide.
If you know an offensive linesman's name, it's usually not a good thing because he'll get one holding penalty after another or didn't block well enough. This man is the prime exception of that and did everything right, even while playing for often lousy Patriots teams.
My all time favorite Patriot....He was such a bad ass & at 265 to 270 lbs even ....way small by today's standards for offensive linemen....My daughter is named after him.....btw ....LOVE the Pat Patriot helmet & uniforms...I read somewhere they are wearing remember for a game or 2 next year ?
Hannah would've been the fb from hell at very least plus the ol are allowed to hold now unlike in 70s ...with modern training he could've been bigger and faster too ....elite athlete for his size with quickness. He was always my favorite too
He would have played bigger today. If you look at his waistline he doesn't have a gut he's all solid muscle. An absolute mountain of stone, that would bash your lights out on a power sweep.
@@leoderosia9279 He definitely would have bulked up today. He was ripped and made of stone. He wasn't some fat ass on the line. Today he would have had the same workout and put an extra 3,000 calories a day into his system just like Jeff Saturday did
@@seankennedy18 some of these lardass ol are 330 pounds but 40 of it is in their stomach unlike in 80s when they were leaner . Hannah was actually a great athlete with quick feet, speed and of course power ....he played with 2 torn rotator cuffs and a bad knee in 85 sb season , legendary toughness . He would work himself into a rage by game time and even his own teammates were afraid of him . I remember a coach telling a db to go out of bounds against hannah because he would rather give up a td than have a dead safety ....hog had a big enough frame to get up to 290 pounds in today's game.
I wonder what his muscle to fat ratio was....(bmi) ? Something they didn't keep track of back then....not much fat on that dude......tough as nails .....👊🤛🤜✊️
Umnnnnnn no. This man never missed a game or a pro Bowl. His record stood for 40 years and when I say his record they ran his way most of the time. Today he would have bulked up an extra 30 lb like Jeff Saturday.
I feel like John Hannah at times: I live in a beautiful part of Tennessee and never understood why my nieces and nephews waste their time going to places that are there just to get their money and create issues..you have limited time on this earth: why waste it in some metal tube going places that mean nothing?
The definition of the strong, simple type of person. I wish I was old enough to see him play live.
Simple in the long run. Fact is he went into banking after his career and was a big time businessman.

Devastating blocker is how NFL players that went up against him would describe him
Absolute legend of a player, my favorite as a kid.
My first jersey number was #73 because of hog Hannnah, and I started out as a DB!
@@realjay247you knew, that's why brother, Hannah was to put it simply a bulldozer and we know what the bulldozer does
John Hannah is everything that is right with America
Hard Working
Southern Bred
And Tough as Nails
Thanks for the video

Hog is the type of guy who built the US but unfortunately it seems like our best days are behind us
@@leoderosia9279
Great man and player.
But the native Americans, Mexican Americans, afro Americans, Irish Americans.. . even Chinese Americans ( railroad ) built this country.
The US was built on the backs and labor of many minority groups.
Absolutely. He is what America WAS all about.
God-fearing, hard working and tough men like that built America. Happy to see there are still some left.
I grew up with John Allen in Canton, Georgia. His Dad worked for my Dad. He was a great friend all those years ago and I was always proud to call him a friend of mine.
Love John Hannah. He's a living
legend from my home town
Blontsville? Is that in Blount County? I assume it is with that name. As long as he's not from Marshall County. Those people are weird from there.
@@jiveassturkey8849 he lives there now but he went to Albertville High School. I went to Guntersville High School. My mother cleaned all the Hannah family's house so he has been in my life all my life.

@@jiveassturkey8849 where are you located? I'm sure people say the same about you.
John was a beast among beasts. He used to dominate HoF defensive linemen.
Great player great human. He coached my high school football team. He stared all 183 games as a Patriot.
My first pick at LG all time
I love this dude, 8 never watched him play, but I used him in madden. A top 2 offensive lineman of all time, everyone could agree on that GO PATRIOTS
Such A Nice Man. We Love John. Boston
Greatest guard in NFL history I always tell my son about him
He wasn't the player that he was in the 86 Super Bowl. His knees especially the one was bone on bone and his shoulder.
Yet he still battled through. Mike Ditka pissed me off as I remember him mocking John after the game about his best offensive lineman ever status saying the Fridge man handled him.

The greatest offensive lineman ever
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love Alabama too especially Huntsville Alabama

Sorry, I should have begun with my most humble thanks for the respect Mr. Hannah brought to the Patriots.

Brady's a Buc though. Hog stayed a patriot
@@mfgreviews5028this comment didn’t age well
Best offensive lineman ever.
He is the best guard ever. Hands down. Munoz is the best tackle ever. Hands down.
Love you Pats family. 💋
I'm imagining John and few others like Tippet on a Kraft / Belichek team.
My New England Patriots had a great offensive line that year but I was born in 2000
You missed some great games. From Vinateri's kick in the snow to Ty Laws INTs against Manning.
He'll never get the credit he deserves because he's a lineman, but a top 25 player ever
How about a 10 minute video of Ernie Adams talking about the 70s Pats?
Man, if feels disrespectful to comment that on a video about John Hannah.

@Scotty that’s debatable..
Season ticket holder since the days of shauffer stadium over 25 years....only Patriots jersey I own is ole 77..hog Hannah...fact
Legend
He was # 73
Ok boomer
You better check
73
It looks a whole lot like where I live here in North Missouri and I agree there ain't no reason to go anyplace else much
Funny his nickname was "Hog" .... it should have been bull... he sure loves his cattle.
#newenglandpatriots #patriots #nfl
He was 73....not 77
Sure hope that's a typo in Patsfan B's post.
