Pete Gogolak
Peter Kornel Gogolak (; (ハンガリー語:Gogolák Péter Kornél); born April 18, 1942 in Budapest, Hungary) is a retired American football placekicker in the American Football League (AFL) for the Buffalo Bills and in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Giants. He is widely considered the chief figure behind the game's adoption of soccer style placekicking. In 1966, after initially playing two professional seasons for the AFL's Bills, he joined the NFL's Giants while still under contract with his former team, sparking the "war between the leagues" and the subsequent AFL–NFL merger.
In 2010 the New York Giants announced that he would be included in the team's new Ring of Honor to be displayed at all home games in their new stadium.〔http://www.giants.com/news/headlines/story.asp?Story_Id=44384〕
==Innovation in placekicking==
Gogolak attended and played college football at Cornell University, where he was elected to the Sphinx Head Society and was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity. Gogolak's 41-yard field goal during Cornell's 1961 season, the first by a soccer-style kicker, became a significant moment in the development of college football, and stood as an example of the changes Gogolak would later bring to the professional game.〔http://www.cornellbigred.com/News/football/2007/10/29/DartNotes102907.asp?path=football〕 Prior to Gogolak, placekickers approached the ball straight on, with the toe making first contact with the ball. Gogolak, reflecting his roots in European soccer, instead approached the ball at an angle and kicked it with his instep. Upon graduation in 1964, he was signed by the American Football League's Buffalo Bills, bringing yet another innovation to the upstart league that had become known for its experimentation: the unorthodox style that had made Gogolak notable while in college now made him professional football's first "soccer style" (as opposed to "conventional") kicker. In 1965, he scored 115 points and was selected by his peers as a Sporting News AFL All-League player.
