player, head coach, General Manager and Executive Vice President for the
Philadelphia Flyers. In his playing years the defenceman won the 1954 Stanley
Cup Championship with the Detroit Red Wings. In 1967 he was appointed as the
first head coach of the Flyers, leading the team to a division win. After the
team dropped to 3rd place in the 1968-1969 season, Allen was promoted to General
Manager while Vic Stasiuk took over the head coach position. As
Philadelphia's GM, he was responsible for constructing the "Broad Street
Bullies"--an All-star line-up trade deal. Led by centre Bobby Clarke, the
Broad Street Bullies went on to win consecutive Stanley Cups in 1974 and
1975. For this, Allen earned the nickname "Keith the Thief." Allen was
inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992. Attached 2½x3 newspaper photo
(2 surfaces). Lightly toned. Corners slightly rounded. Pencil note (unknown
hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
