From Chronicle:
Jim Plunkett traveled a long, hard road to Super Bowl glory - and now he's paying the price. Plunkett led the Raiders to two championships, but only after he endured seven years of punishment on bad Patriots and 49ers teams. He spent eight more seasons with the Raiders, enjoying long-sought success but still absorbing countless crunching hits. This explains the lingering pain he feels today, at age 67. Plunkett has had 18 surgeries, including two knee replacements, one shoulder replacement and several operations on his back and neck.
