Vintage menu The San Francisco restaurant Wayne PA owned by Gino Marchetti founder of Gin'o's Hamburger fast food chain
Feb 9, 1972 - Gino Marchetti named to Pro Football 6 HalF PHILADELPHIA ' (AP) For ... Gino now operates "The San Francisco," a restaurant in Wayne, Pa
Gino was injured in the championship game between Gino's team, the Baltimore Colts, and the New York Giants.
The game turned out to be, in many eyes, "the greatest game ever played," and the Colts won, 23-17, in
overtime. Gino, however, wasn't around at the finish. He had suffered a severely broken ankle late in the
fourth period while making a critical tackle of the Giants' Frank Gifford. Marchetti's teammate, 300- pound
Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, fell on top of Gino after the tackle to cause the injury.
Marchetti's stop proved to be a key play for it ended the Giants' drive and gave Baltimore the ball. From
there, the Colts went on to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation play and then win in overtime.
Gino stayed on the sidelines until the game was tied but was taken to the dressing room in the overtime
period.
