METAIRIE, La. -- Chuck Muncie, a Pro Bowl running back with both the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers, has died at age 60, the NFL clubs and a family spokesman said Tuesday. Muncie family spokesman Vintage Foster of AMF Media Group in San Ramon, Calif., said Muncie died at his Los Angeles-area home on Monday from heart failure. Muncie was the Saints first-round pick, third overall, out of California in 1976. He played 4 1/2 seasons in New Orleans before being traded in 1980 to San Diego, where he finished his nine-year NFL career. In 1979, Muncie became the first Saint to rush for 1,000 yards, finishing with 1,198 yards and 11 touchdowns, and his 1,506 total yards from scrimmage earned him the first of his three Pro Bowl selections. The 6-foot-3 Muncie, who played at 227 pounds, and fellow Saints running back Tony Galbreath formed what then-coach Hank Stram dubbed the "Thunder and Lightning" combination in the New Orleans backfield. Both running backs are now member of the Saints Hall of Fame. Saints owner Tom Benson said in a written statement that the Saints were mourning Muncies "untimely passing," adding, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and other loved ones at this difficult time." Muncie was traded by the Saints at midseason in 1980 to the San Diego Chargers, where he played 51 games and was named to Pro Bowl rosters two more times, in 1981 and 82. In 2009, the club recognized him as one of the 50 greatest Chargers of all time. His accomplishments on the field came despite cocaine use, and in 1989, five years after hiis retirement from pro football, Muncie was sentenced to 18 months in prison for a cocaine distribution conviction.dddddddddddd Thereafter, however, he began sharing his life story with at-risk youth, highlighting his struggles with drug abuse. He created the Chuck Muncie Youth Foundation, the mission of which was to offer children mentoring, educational assistance and counselling. "His work with at-risk youth, the Boys and Girls Clubs and his foundation were the things that really made him shine," Muncies daughter, Danielle Ward, said in a written statement provided by Foster. "He was star on the football field but his most impressive work was done in the second chapter of his life where he lived his life with great transparency," added Muncies former wife, Robyn Hood. "He simply wanted others to learn from his mistakes. He carried that message with him everywhere he went. And as a result, he changed the lives of hundreds of kids. He made a difference." Muncies 43 touchdowns for San Diego, and 19 touchdowns in a single season, both rank second in Chargers history, eclipsed only by LaDainian Tomlinson. "Everyone at the Chargers is deeply saddened by the passing of Chuck Muncie, one of the greatest running backs in Chargers history," the team said in a written statement. "We will remember him as a tremendous athlete with a larger-than-life personality. Its a sad day for all of us and all Chargers fans." In nine seasons, Muncie finished with 6,702 yards rushing, 2,323 yards receiving and 74 total touchdowns. ' ' '
