Booth Lusteg
Gerald Booth Lusteg (May 8, 1939 – July 12, 2012)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Pro Football Reference )〕 was a placekicker in the National Football League who played for the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Packers.com ) 〕 Lusteg played collegiate baseball for the University of Connecticut and played football professionally for 4 seasons. He retired in 1969.〔 He came out of retirement in 1974 and played one season for the Portland Storm.
Lusteg, who at the time was an unsuccessful actor,〔 first played football for the New Bedford Sweepers of the Atlantic Coast Football League. After the Bills lost kicker Pete Gogolak, Lusteg was one of nearly 100 people who applied to replace him. Lusteg was one of the only players with kicking experience out of the group: his top two competitors were a German bricklayer and a one-armed cyclops.〔(Buffalo Bills ). ''Sports Illustrated'' (1966-09-12). Retrieved 2011-05-16.〕 At the time of the tryout, Gerald Lusteg took on the identity of his younger brother Wallace, who had graduated from Boston College, to shave four years off his perceived age. Using the nickname "Booth", Lusteg was able to pass as four years under his actual age for years, including adopting Boston College as his alma mater (he had not kicked or even played football in college, so he never ran into a challenge to his career).
Lusteg died on July 12, 2012 after suffering from lung cancer for three years.〔(Early Dolphins kicker G. Booth Lusteg dies at 73. Miami Herald, July 18, 2012 )〕
