	Father of the Packers Lambeau's team was gift to Green Bay, state, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Lambeau, a star athlete at Green Bay East High School, guided the Packers to six world championships (1929-'31, 1936, 1939 and 1944) and was one of just six NFL coaches to win 200 games (212-106-21,.656 winning percentage with Green Bay) in league history.
		The charismatic and volatile Lambeau, so nicknamed because of his natural curly jet-fl hair, put up $50 of his own money to buy back the NFL franchise for $250 in 1922 after financial problems and illegal use of collegiate players forced the team to be forfeited.
		Lambeau's success put Green Bay, Wis. on the map in the 1930s, and in the process he became a national celebrity, a status that he embraced in a fast-paced lifestyle that featured three marriages and divorces and hob-nobbing with Hollywood legends such as Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.
