King Corcoran i.e. James Sean Patrick Corcoran, the leader of the legendary Pottstown Firebirds and Philadelphia Bell, and a part-time quarterback for the then-wretched Philadelphia Eagles (1971), died June 19, 2009 living at a friend’s house in Takoma Park, Md.
He was 65.
The Washington Post ran a long but rather sad obit a month-and-a-half after his death.
Two other quarterbacks of those legendarily wretched Eagles have also passed on with Jack Concannon dying at age 62 in 2005 and King Hill dying last summer at the age of 75.
Norm Snead remains with us.
