Agree, well said

Joe Montana is always a class-act on and off the field. The Super Bowl runs Montana and Clark had together in early 1980s launched the 49ers as a Football Dynasty. Thank you both for great plays and memories. RIP Dwight Clark. Salute the GOAT Joe Montana.

No longer the GOAT. There is only one person who would consider Joe the GOAT... and thats Tom Brady.

@@bobabooey4537 The GOAT LB Lawrence Taylor had this to say... "Joe Montana is still my man," Taylor said on the I am Athlete podcast this week. "Still my man. You say greatest quarterbacks ever, I'm still with Joe Montana. I'm not going with Tom Brady....Listen, Tom Brady got all the rules on his side. You can't touch him. You can't touch him. If you hit him, if you breathe on him, they're gonna throw a flag." "I don't understand how he drops back eight yards, and he sits in a little cocoon, and they're not sending people at him," he said. "Why is the defense not sending people? Man, let me tell you something....If I'm playing, I'm hitting him every play. Even if I had to just pat him on the ass, I was right there beside you, brother." - The GOAT LB Lawrence Taylor

I was lucky enuff to have known both Joe Montana and D. C. from there early days of practicing at Sierra college in Rocklin Ca. I can say with all honesty I have never met two nicer or more likable gentlemen who were just out to play footbal and enjoy life!God bless them both! Thanks for taking the time to make a college wrestler feel special...

To lose a friend like that is heart breaking! Loved what you said Joe, a true friend and teammate!

I FEEL FOR JOE AND THE CLARK FAMILY. THIS HITS HOME.

Thanks, Joe, for sharing your friendship with us. Dwight wasn't just a great football player, he was also a great person. The son of my best friend was born handicapped and never walked a day in his far too short life. But Brad was a huge 9er fan. When the 9ers still had their spring training near the Marysville/Yuba City Ca. area Dwight somehow learned about Brad and actually visited him while Brad was in one of his many hospital stays. Needless to say, it was the highlight of Brad's 29-year life.

Even though I'm from Wisconsin and a Packers fan, I always enjoyed watching the 49ers during the 80,s. My personal favorite 49er is Ronnie Lott

Total classy guy. Joe Montana = GOAT

Always cool under pressure Joe, what a great friend Dwight was, from a New York Giants fan....

Dwight was probably Joe's closest 49er friend....along with Ronnie Lott. This must have been so hard.

The great thing about Joe is, if you listen to the old tapes, it’s the same old Joe who took us to the Super Bowl in 82. DC , Joe, Jerry, the crew from those years... had that cool demeanor that made you believe anything was possible. They were calm, warm and icy cold on the field all at the same time. The ultimate professionals.

Montana is such a class-act.

That last bit just made me cry in matter of one second. Well done….while battling cancer that my dad would ultimately pass away from, we all went to see the 49ers play a charity basketball game at Seaside HS, in Seaside, CA in early 2000’s. Mid mid game, Dwight falls into the stands chasing the ball out of bounds. He practically falls into my fathers lap. Jokingly, Clark puts his arm around my dad, asks my dad what’s fun yo do afterwards in Monterey. He hung out talking to my dad for a minute who two while the game was still going on. After a couple of minutes he says thanks and “I gotta get back to the game.” My dad looks at me and says,”that was so cool”

That's an amazing memory! I'm so sorry for your loss. I loss my Dad less than a year ago to cancer. His love for San Francisco and his 49ers rubbed off on me. I'm so thankful we went to candlestick together and talked on the phone during every game we weren't together for. His name was Joe and he was born in '49. It was meant to be. The Catch and D.C. were epic! He and that whole team were amazing on and off the field.

Life is more than football, but Joe and Dwight became legendary when it came to life.

The catch linked them for eternity But the bond they shared was so much more

Dwight Clark said to Joe Montana, " Ya know they don't call it the THROW " Joe Montana says " DC I'll CATCH you on the other side" Quote from Joe Montana to his spiritual brother #87 Dwight Clark !! MEnye says "Praise Jesus and Thanks God for having DC, our 49er Hero in Your safekeeping and special care🧡"!!

Thank you form memories that can never be taken. RIP

DC to Joe - "They don't call it 'The Throw.'" Honest love between professional teammates.

Joe to Dwight...the best play ever. The Catch!

no the best play ever for the 49ers was eric wright horse collar tackle of Drew pearson! Dallas was robbed

I had the honor to meet DC and his wife Ashley when my best friend Bob (RIP) and I went to install shower doors and mirrors at their San Carlos hills home. I bought a brand new Wilson football, hoping he would be there to sign it. He was and did. He was really friendly and hung out with us for long while. On the ball he wrote "Remember the Catch" and "good luck to our new business" Ashley signed it too. DC, a good soul....

Joe's had the same haircut for 40+ years.....maybe longer. Maybe going all the way back to his days at ND. Who knows? Who cares? He's the GOAT & he can do whatever he wants. RIP Dwight Clark.

R.I.P Dwight Clark 🌷 Thank You LEGEND.

"The Throw" is as epic as "The Catch!" Love ya, Joe.....Love ya Dwight......

As a little boy in Texas I was a Cowboy fan. But I got tired of them losing in the Super Bowl twice to the Steelers. After they lost the second one I said "Enough of this I will no longer be a fan of them." So for a couple of years I followed no team. Then with what would be the last championship games I would see with my dad I saw the 49ERS vs Dallas. And after seeing The Catch I told my dad that the 49ERS were going to be my team. Which angered my dad since he was a Cowboy fan.😂 R.I.P. #87 & You My Father. Miss You Papa.💔😢😭

Montana to Clark will live on forever... two great men and teammates Joe Cool the perfect class act as always

When I think of football Joe Montana and Dwight Clark always is my first thought. Even though he is gone, he is remembered. He left a lifelong impression.

They really were a Dynamic Duo.

Very nice. Very difficult to do and do it so well and genuinely.

Joe's such a class act

Joe you are the greatest as a life long niners fan you and Dwight with the catch still one of the greatest moments of my life. I was in section 39 jumped into my dads arms as a 13 year old to celebrate I only hope I can live a moment with my son half as good as that moment. God bless Dwight and Joe

I didn't become a 49ers fan until they drafted Joe Montana. I grew up watching him play at Notre Dame and being a Joe Montana fan never changed but along the way I became a fan of a bunch of other player's and Dwight Clark was one of them. I never met he, Joe Montana, Freddie Solomon, Ronnie Lott, Eddie DeBart...but I feel like I know them personally. They all seem to have that Joe Montana kind cool and decent human beings to talk to type of vibe. R.I.P. Mr. Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon. I hope as I age I never forget "The Catch" or the story about moments before "The Catch" how Joe Montana in one of the biggest most defining moments notices R.I.P. John Candy in the crowd.

I feel so sad for Dewey. Gone so young. More than a "catch."

Love Joe Cool

Never will forget spotting Joe Montana in a Nashville Restaurant in 2010 didn’t want to interrupt he and his wife’s dinner

GLORIOUS FROM THE HEART! APLUS

My Uncle Pat died from ALS so it saddens me that Dwight Clark lost his fight to ALS.

What a great tribute to a true friend. I remember the strory of when they were in training camp for the first time and Clark saw Montana for the first time and thought "hmmm, this skinny guy must be the kicker."

Both legends........that was when I started to watch the game in the UK. RIP Dwight x

Brady may be called today's goat, but he will never equal Montana. I still remember the stories when Montana stayed at Dwight's house after college. Young girls used to leave beer on his doorstep along with notes. Montana makes lifelong friends wherever he goes, something Brady lacks. And Dwight was one of the best.

He was famous for catching a ball during a game played by kids
