atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Such sad news. Helluva a player who made a spectacular catch at a critical moment. Prayers to his family. ALS is a terrible disease that we need to find a cure for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Mr. Clark, you provided a lasting memory for many fans, especially the ones that dislike the Cowboys. I always wondered exactly how high that ball was. ? Clark was 6'4" with a decent vertical and was fully extended and caught on the finger tips. Many thought Montana was throwing it away. 11-12ft maybe?

ALF Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Dwight Clark buried near goal post where he made 'The Catch' Steve Mariucci ✔ @SteveMariucci Dwight Clark’s ashes in Montana . “The Catch” will forever live with Mr.D @NFL @nflnetwork @49ers 10:57 AM - Jul 7, 2018 Dwight Clark, the NFL 49ers legend who died last month after a battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease, was laid to rest on the team’s former owner’s Montana ranch right next to the goalpost used in the game where he brought down his famous catch. "NFL fans will probably recognize this goalpost right here," former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci said in a video posted on Twitter. "That was the goalpost that was in the end zone of 'The Catch' at Candlestick when Dwight Clark beat the Dallas Cowboys on a throw by Joe Montana. And this is Dwight Clark's stone in proximity to where he did make that catch." The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Clark was buried at Eddie DeBartolo Jr.’s Montana ranch. He was the former team’s owner. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2018/07/10/dwight-clark-buried-near-goal-post-where-made-catch.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was money an issue for a burial plot for him? It's one thing to be buried at Candlestick (macabre, but still), but buried next to the goal post in Montana...did he want this?
