RIP! He was a solid linebacker and played hard and was always in the right spot it seemed! Enjoyed watching him play! Condolences to his family and friends, passed way to soon.

 

When Marv hit a player, they felt it!! RIP

Same here.  I certainly remember him, though.

I remember regretting how much “even better” our great D of ‘88 would have been if we still had Eugene Marv. I could not figure out how we lost him to the Bucs and back then there was no way to figure that out. Maybe microfiche at the public library.

It was the allure of the 'Creamsicle' uniforms...🤔

Marve ("e" at the end, guys) was super solid. It's just a shame his mid-80s teams were so awful. I always felt kind of sorry for Marve: he just missed out on the Bills early 80s run, and then left on the cusp of the Kelly-era SB run. I don't think they were recording tackle stats at that time, but man, Marve was a tackling machine! RIP.

His son Robert was a big time QB recruit a decade ago.  

 

Played at the U and then Purdue and I thought he might carve out a nice career in the CFL but he gave up after a year and a half.
