Read through all quotes from Wellington Mara
He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997. He had surgery in May 2005 to remove cancerous lymph nodes from his neck and under his armpit but was initially given a good prognosis by his doctors who said the cancer had not metastasized according to his son John Mara who is the Giants' co-chief executive officer. [citation needed]
Under Mara's direction the New York Football Giants won six NFL titles (including two Super Bowl wins) nine conference championships (including six Eastern Conference championships in the days before the NFL-AFL merger and three NFC championships post-merger) and thirteen division championships.
He was the younger son of Tim Mara who founded the Giants in 1925. Wellington was a ball boy for that year.
