Do you remember any Eagles-49ers regular season matchups from the 1970s and 80s? Do you remember the only playoff meeting ever between the teams that occurred in the 1990s?

When the two meet in the NFC Championship Game Sunday at the Linc, it will be part of a relatively short history between them.

The 49ers lead the overall series 20-14-1, and the only prior playoff game that involved the two teams was in 1996 with San Francisco posting a 14-0 victory.

In this week’s version of my Yesterday column - a look back to the 1960s, 70s, 80s and sometimes beyond - I will examine some Eagles-49ers matchups from the past, some other San Francisco and Philadelphia memories that aren’t football related, and look at some pop culture items that you might be familiar with.

The First Playoff Meeting ... Who played in the last Eagles-49ers playoff matchup?

It was 1996, the 49ers were still at the height of their game and were a wildcard team with a 12-4 mark. The Eagles also were a wildcard team with a 10-6 record.

Steve Young threw for 161 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 65. Jerry Rice caught four balls, and the Niners defense was led by Bryant Young, Ken Norton Jr, and Merton Hanks (remember him?).

Many may have forgotten the Eagles’ quarterbacks that day were Ty Detmer, who threw for 148 yards with two interceptions, and former Washington quarterback Mark Rypien (yes, they had him), who threw for 77 yards with an interception. Rypien was signed in October when Rodney Peete went down with an injury.

Ex-49er Ricky Watters was the main back for the Birds, and wide receiver Freddie Solomon, another ex-49er, was in the receiver mix.

How many of you recall Gary Anderson kicking and Irving Fryar catching passes? Who was the Eagles’ coach? It was ex-49ers defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes.

Two Lost Classics ... In 1983, the Eagles and 49ers met in the season opener at Candlestick Park, and the Birds came away with a 22-17 victory. Ron Jaworski and Joe Pisarcik both saw time at quarterback, and top draft pick Michael Haddix was the Birds leading ground gainer. Haddix would eventually be regarded as one of the team’s biggest draft busts in team history.

Mike Quick had a big game, and would go on to have a banner year with over 1,400 receiving yards. But the Marion Campbell-led Eagles went on to a disappointing 5-11 record, and scored a league-low 233 points.

In 1975, the Eagles downed the Niners, 27-17 at the Vet. Mike Boryla was the Birds’ quarterback, and he completed 23-of-36 passes for 241 yards with three touchdowns. Who was his running back? Try James McAlister, who ran for 40 yards, while veteran Art Malone and budding back Po James also saw some time.

Ex-Eagles Norm Snead and Steve Spurrier combined to throw three interceptions for the 49ers.

Bill Bergey was the heart of the Eagles’ defense, and the kick returner was Larry Marshall. Does that name ring a bell?

Those Good Ol’ Times ... Many of you can remember when the championship games both were played in the early afternoon.

The old start times were at 12:30 and 3 p.m. If you were in school during that time, both games would be over by 6 or 7 p.m. at the latest, so there was no problem being able to stay up to see the ending of the games.

Early Saturday afternoon playoff games also were a treat during that time period. I remember watching the Steelers-Raiders “Immaculate Reception” game on a Saturday afternoon.

San Francisco Memories ... If your preteen or early teen years covered the late 60s and early 70s, you must remember the San Francisco-based commercial for “Rice-A-Roni,” labeled as the “San Francisco Treat.”

It was always great to see video from San Francisco, and the image of a trolley car and its bell ringing was a lasting image.

And we all know Tony Bennett’s classic song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”

Philadelphia Freedom ... In February 1975, Elton John’s “Philadelphia Freedom” song was released, and it eventually made its way toward the top of the charts. The song ended the year at No. 3. John dedicated the song to women’s tennis star Billie Jean King - who played for the Philadelphia Freedom World Tennis team at time - and her fight for women’s rights.

Famous Dogs and a Famous Horse ... On Jan. 26, 1961, the Disney movie, “101 Dalmatians” was released, and it proved to be a big hit. It was a movie most of us have seen along the way, and another animal-based Disney product that was successful.

The movie was re-released in 1969, 1979, 1985, and 1991. The last release was the 20th-highest grossing movie for the year.

Growing up in the 60’s, we all should remember the TV show, “Mr. Ed.” The talking horse was on the air from 1961 to 1966. The theme song became a song that we could all sing.

A little known fact is that Alan Young, the lead actor in the series, frequently visited Bamboo Harvester - the horse that played Mr. Ed - after the series ended up until the horse’s death in 1970 at the age of 19. (Hello ... I am Mister Ed)

Some more San Francisco memories ... In the 1960s and 70s, some of the more well-known names from the Bay Area were 49ers’ legendary quarterback John Brodie, kicker Bruce Gossett, and wide receiver Gene Washington.

One of my most vivid memories of the San Francisco area was when the Giants’ Willie Mays and Bobby Bonds collided in right-centerfield running down a ball that Mays caught. It was early April 1970, and was NBC’s Saturday Game of the Week.

Bonds suffered bruised ribs ,and had trouble breathing after he hit that memorable metal-chained fence in the outfield at Candlestick Park. I watched that game live and was shocked.

On the basketball front, there was tireless-working center Nate Thurmond, who made the most of his 6-foot-8 frame, and scoring guard Jeff Mullins.

To really jog a memory, how about the roller derby team the San Francisco Bay Bombers?

Memory Lane ... Every week, I’ll look back at a former player, coach, manager, or announcer from days past.

Do you remember Eagles’ defensive end Carl Hariston? “Big Daddy” was an Eagles’ seventh-round pick in the 1976 draft. Hariston spent eight seasons with the Eagles from 1976-83, and registered 57.5 sacks. He had a career-high 15.5 in 1979.

Hariston went on to play in Cleveland from 1984-89 where he had 37.5 sacks, and he ended his career with a one-year stop in Arizona in 1990.

He later was a defensive line coach with various teams from 1995-2014. Hariston received a Super Bowl ring when he was with the Rams in 2000.
