Six members of the 1995 Springfield College football team pose for a photo. Three are kneeling of the three who are standing. Two of the players who are kneeling are holding a plaque in their hands. In 1995, the Springfield College football team won the ECAC championship, so it is most likely a plaque the team received for winning the championship. This is an image that was given to Vic Innarelli and later donated by his wife. Vic Innarelli is not pictured in the photo, but he was a devoted fan who attended all of the team's games. Vic Innarelli was considered an honorary member of the football team at Springfield College. Innarelli operated the barber shop on campus at Springfield College for over 50 years. During this time, he was devoted to the football team at Springfield College, as he never missed a game. Innarelli may have also did volunteer work coaching and was an advisor to the Monus Sabias Club, which appears to have had a relationship with the YMCA. Innarelli passed away on March 9, 2012. He was 81 years old.
