Photograph of Leo Lyons with Vince Lombardi.

Leo was a campaigner for a Hall of Fame throughout the fifties. Finally, in 1962, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle informed Leo that he would be involved in the opening of the Hall of Fame in Canton. Leo was on stage, and praised by NFL greats as a true pioneer. Leo donated many of the photos, from his collection, to the Hall. The following year, Leo was on the field for the coin toss for the Hall of Fame game.
