49ers great Dwight Clark, known for 'The Catch,' dies at 61 after battle with ALS
Dwight Clark, the San Francisco 49ers great most widely known for making "The Catch" from Joe Montana to defeat the Dallas Cowboys in the 1981 NFC Championship Game, died Monday. He was 61.
Clark's wife, Kelly Clark, revealed the news about her husband, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A two-time all-pro selection, Clark also helped lead the 49ers to Super Bowl titles. In one of the most iconic plays in NFL history, his stretching catch in the back of the end zone gave San Francisco a 28-27 win over the Cowboys for a berth in Super Bowl XVI. Their 26-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals marked the first of five Super Bowl titles for the franchise from 1981-94.

There was a great article about him in Sports Illustrated two weeks ago about how they had a reunion of a bunch of his old teammates. It really seems like he was well-loved by those who knew him best.
