Fred “Fuzzy” Thurston is one of the few players to have six championships in the National Football League, winning an additional title in Baltimore along with the five he captured as a Packer.  The native of Wisconsin would be named a First Team All-Pro in 1961.  He entered the Packers Hall of Fame as part of the class of 1975.
The move to Center paid dividends for both Frank Winters and the Green Bay Packers, who they signed after six uneventful seasons in Cleveland, New York (G) and Cleveland.  Winters would start 141 games for the Packers and would make the 1996 Pro Bowl roster.  This would prove to be a pretty good career for a player who was nicknamed “Old Bag of Donuts”.

The Packers elected Winters to their Hall of Fame in 2008.
Cal Hubbard fell in love with the small city of Green Bay when he played a road game there with the New York Giants and the story was that he demanded to be traded there and threatened retirement if it didn’t happen.  It did happen, and Hubbard was a major reason that Green Bay won the NFL Championship in 1929, 1930 and 1931.  Hubbard was also a three-time First Team All-Pro as a Packer and went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the first ever class in 1963.  He also was part of Green Bay's inaugural Hall of Fame class in 1970.
