Charley Hannah

Who is Charley Hannah?

Charles Alvin Hannah is a former American football offensive guard and defensive end who played in the National Football League from 1977 to 1988. Charley played six years for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and six years for the Los Angeles Raiders. He is the son of an NFL player, Herbert Hannah, an offensive lineman for the University of Alabama who played a year at tackle for the New York Giants in 1951. His brothers John, a Hall-of-Famer in the NFL, and David were also All-Conference offensive linemen for the University of Alabama.

Replacing Curt Marsh, Charley Hannah was the starting left guard for the Raiders from 1983 to 1986, but played more sparingly in his final two years. At that position, he opened gaping holes with his linemates against the Washington Redskins, so that Marcus Allen gained a whopping 191 yards on the ground on 20 carries, to help the Los Angeles Raiders win Super Bowl XVIII.
