San Francisco 49ers great Dwight Clark dies at age 61 [View all]
San Francisco 49ers great Dwight Clark passed away Monday at the age of 61, his family confirmed.
Clark will be best remembered for his role in "The Catch," the game-winning touchdown reception at the end of the 1981 NFC Championship Game, which sent San Francisco to its first Super Bowl and ignited a dynasty.
Clark spent the entirety of his nine-year career with the 49ers. Clark ranks third and fourth in franchise history in receiving yards and receptions, respectively.
A two-time All-Pro receiver and two-time Super Bowl champion with the Niners, Clark was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, in March 2017.
