49ers icons and members of Dwight Clark’s family caught up with KNBR to reflect on the statues, the meanings behind them, and their lasting memories of Clark.
Dwight Clark’s life, and the famous play attached to his legacy, will forever be immortalized in a series of tributes the 49ers will pay in the near future.
Dwight Clark’s memory will forever be immortalized for his iconic catch during the 1981 NFC Championship against the Dallas Cowboys. It is only fitting that Clark, who died last month at the age of 61, is memorialized that way.
The reaction to the death of 49ers receiver Dwight Clark, author of “The Catch,” exuder of charm and laughter, symbol of the most important era in San Francisco sports history, has been extraordinary.
