The Las Vegas Raiders have an incredibly storied history, one that has brought numerous Hall of Fame players, multiple Super Bowl wins, and some of the more colorful personalities the game has ever seen, none more so than late owner Al Davis. On Thursday night, Davis will take center stage on ESPN, as he will be the feature of their latest installment of their 30 for 30 series.

Al came to the Raiders organization after a stint with the Chargers franchise, becoming the youngest head coach in the AFL before the start of the 1963 season. From then on, he would be synonymous with Raiders football, becoming part-owner of the team in 1966 before taking over as the principal owner in 1972.

Throughout it all, Davis brought swagger and confidence to the franchise, expecting the very best out of anybody who put on the Silver and Black. He was a pioneer in the game, hiring people no matter their skin color or sex, and his saying, “Just Win Baby,” is the motto of the franchise to this day.
