Robert Arthur “Nasty” Nash (December 16, 1892 – February 1, 1977) was an Irish-American professional American football player who played in the American Professional Football Association for the Akron Pros, Buffalo All-Americans, Rochester Jeffersons and the New York Giants. Prior to joining the AFPA, Nash played professionally in the "Ohio League" for the Massillon Tigers. He was considered by sports historians as one of the greatest offensive tackles of his era.
Nash was born in Ireland and raised in Bernardsville, New Jersey,[1] where he played high school football at Bernards High School.[2] Prior to playing professional football, Nash played college football at Cornell University and at Rutgers, where he received All-American honors in 1914.[1] He was inducted into the Rutgers Hall of Fame in 1988.
