#1 - Curly Lambeau
Green Bay native Curly Lambeau was a co-founder, coach, and halfback for the Packers from 1919-1949. After playing under Knute Rockne at Notre Dame, Curly and George Calhoun founded the Packers. Lambeau would go on to score the Packers first touchdown pass and field goal, part of his 10 year playing career. After retiring, Lambeau remained the head coach and general manager until 1949. As a coach, he would amass a record of 226-132-22 and 6 NFL championships. He is an NFL Hall of Famer and member of the All-Decade team for the 1920s. He passed away here in Sturgeon Bay in 1965. Posthumously, the Packers "New" City Stadium was renamed Lambeau Field and remains as such to this day. It is one of very few professional sports stadiums to not have a corporate sponsor as their namesake. Lambeau is also supposedly the only player ever to wear #1 in Packers history, despite the number never having been formally retired.
