was 85.
Hannah, who died at his home on Wednesday, played for the Tide
from 1948-50 and spent a season at tackle for the New York Giants

selling the company to his employees when he retired in the 1980s.
Hannah's sons Charles, David and John also played for the Tide.
John Hannah, an offensive lineman, was inducted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame in 1991. He was introduced by his father at
the induction ceremony, and in his speech credited his parents,
Herb and Geneva, for his success.
"They always gave it everything they had and a little more,"
John Hannah said. "They never failed to show us their love."
Geneva Hannah died Sept. 20, 2005.
