Wow!  I was a hiuge Giant fan as well, but had forgotten about the moniker RoMoLoKat.  HOFer Andy Robustelli was from Stamford originally.  He and a partner named Ed Somethingorother owned a sporting goods store in Stamford for years surprisingly named Ed and Andy's.

Robustelli played at Arnold College in Bridgeport which became the Education school at the University of Bridgeport sometime in the 50s I believe. Andy was drafted by the Rams and later traded to the Giants in the mid 50s.  Andy's son (or maybe his nephew, never remember which) Rick was the starting QB at UCONN in the 70s.

I don't recall Katcavage being traded for Rosey Grier because I thought they played together on the same DL in the late 50s.  I thought I remembered Grier being traded for Del Shoftner, Y.A. Title's favorite target.

In high school and summers while in college I worked at a sporting goods store in Norwalk.  One summer day shortly after  he was acquired by the Giants, Lovetere came into the store to look at hand guns.  What a huge guy when your standing 2-3 feet away from him.  I wondered how he ever fit through the door.  Of course those guys all pale in comparison to the size of today's defensive linemen.
