Al Giordano – Football, 1954-1956 (Deceased)

Giordano played for the Racers from 1954-1956 and was chosen to All-America and All-Ohio Valley Conference teams. He was ineligible to play his senior season because he played professional baseball after high school. The OVC had permitted athletes who had been a professional in one spot to participate in others until 1956.

Giordano graduated from Murray in 1958 and has taught and coached at Caldwell County High School since. He was assistant football and baseball coach until 1972 when he was named head football coach. In 1965, Giordano was named the Outstanding Athlete for the last 25 years at his Farmingdale High School in New York, where he earned four varsity letters in football, five in baseball, three in basketball, and one in wrestling. He played professional baseball for three seasons. (Murray State Alumnus, 1974)
