MARK GASTINEAU
16x20 photo of the record-setting sack leader
Photograph signed: "Mark/Gastineau/#99". B/w, 16x20. Mark Gastineau (born in 1956) was considered one of the quickest and most feared defensive ends of his generation. Gastineau, who had played for Arizona State, was a star of the feared Jets defensive line, known as the "New York Sack Exchange" from 1979-1988. He set a then-record of 22 quarterback sacks in a single season (1984). Famous for his "Sack Dance" (which he stopped after the NFL declared it "unsportsmanlike taunting"), Gastineau played in five consecutive Pro Bowls (1981-1985), and he was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1982), AFC Defensive Player of the Year (1984) and Pro Bowl MVP (1984). He left the team in the middle of the 1988 season, supposedly to spend time with actress Brigitte Nielsen, with whom he has a son, but he later revealed that he feared failing a drug test and the revelation of his use of steroids. Gastineau later played for four games for the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League (1990), and he also pursued a career in boxing (1991-1996), which was marred by reports that other boxers had been told to take "dives" to make Gastineau look good. His later life was also marred by several run-ins with the law, including charges of drug possession and domestic violence, and Gastineau spent 11 months in prison in 1999 for parole violations. Fine condition.
