Did that GB team not have names on their backs? I never thought of it before and never looked for it in other pics but the last pic on the link shows #26 without a name on his uni.


Names on the uniforms didn't start until sometime later. Later 60's, early 70's... something like that. Anyone know the year for sure?

#26 was one of the greatest athletes in Packer history...and beyond.

AFL put names on jerseys in the 60's , NFL didn't do it until the merger in 1970.

That picture of Fred "The Hammer" Williamson being carried off field. I remember the Packers were kind of chuckling about that on the sidelines because of all the trash talk he had been doing before the game.


I recall one of the Packers, most likely Henry Jordan, saying Donny Anderson hit Williamson with his wallet--a reference to Anderson's then considerable salary, making him the highest paid player on the team at that time.
