The legendary coach, analyst, and video game pioneer passed away on December 28 at the age of 85.

Madden spent his entire ten-year coaching career in Oakland with the Raiders. He never had a losing season as Raiders coach and ultimately he led them to a Super Bowl following the 1976 season. He retired from football following the 1978 season with the best winning percentage in NFL history (.759).
No one in history has left more of a mark on the game of football than John Madden. Now fans in Oakland will have their chance to honor his life and legacy.
