Grant Dibert
Grant Dibert was an early professional football player with the Pittsburgh Athletic Club and the Allegheny Athletic Association.〔Five Hundred Reasons pg. 1〕 As a fullback,〔Five Hundred Reasons pg. 5〕 his primary team was the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, whom he played for, from the team's founding in 1891 until 1893.〔Weekly Wage pg. 1〕 Prior to his professional career, Dibert played college football at Swarthmore College.〔Peterson pg. 31〕
However, Dibert first played outside of college with the Allegheny Athletic Association in 1890, because the Pittsburgh Athletic Club did not field a football team until 1891. In early October 1890, Dibert and two other Pittsburgh Athletic Club members played for the "All-Pittsburgh's", an informal collection of local players, in a pick-up game against Allegheny Athletic Association.〔Three A's pg. 1〕 The following season, he played for both Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Allegheny Athletic Association. In a game between the Athletic Association and the Cleveland Athletic Club, Dibert's punting skills were credited with keeping Cleveland deep within their own territory and added an important field goal in 6–6 tie between the clubs.〔Up the P.A.C. pg. 2–3〕
Dibert made his historical mark on professional football, off the field. In 1893, he became the first football player to sign and be kept under to the first known professional football contract with the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. The contract covered all of the Pittsburgh Athletic Club games for the 1893 season, and paid Dibert $50 per game.〔Peterson pg. 31〕 While the signature on that piece of paper is barely recognizable, most sports historians believe that the player who signed the contract was probably Dibert.〔Hall of Fame〕 Still remaining on the paper are the remnants of two letters from the signature, a high loop that could be the top of a "b" and, after a short space, the crossed top of a "t". A copy of the contract is on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, Ohio.〔Weekly Wage pg. 1〕
Dibert opened the 1893 season in the Pittsburgh backfield, but lost his position after the fourth game of the season. Although he was mentioned later in the season as an available sub, he did not play for the team again. It is unknown if Dibert was paid for only the games he played in or if he was given money, just to prevent him from playing for Allegheny.〔Weekly Wage pg. 1〕
