Gone at 84. Pretty famous in his day - – as a football player, party guy, and gambler. Went from Notre Dame, where he was quarterback and won the Heisman Trophy, to Green Bay Packers where he wore #5 and was converted to a halfback. He was a triple threat player, running, passing and kicking with the Packers from 1957-1966. Oh, and he was also a petty good receiver out of the backfield. Hornung was suspended from the NFL for the 1963 season for gambling.
