Groza, Lou

Groza, Lou
▪ 2001
“The Toe” 
      American professional football player (b. Jan. 25, 1924, Martins Ferry, Ohio—d. Nov. 29, 2000, Middleburgh Heights, Ohio), was regarded as one of football's greatest placekickers. An offensive lineman as well as a placekicker, he played with the Cleveland Browns of the All-America Football Conference and, subsequently, of the National Football League, from 1946 to 1967. One of the most memorable moments in NFL history came in 1950 when Groza kicked a 16-yd field goal with 28 sec left in the NFL championship game to give the Browns a 30–28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Groza retired with 1,349 NFL points—a franchise record that remained unbroken at the time of his death. In 1974 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
