  1. Lance Alworth grew up in Brookhaven, Ms., about 65 miles from my house in Natchez. His quarterback in high school, Alton Greenlee, was my Colin Jr College backfield coach in 1967 & 1968 seasons. I would have loved to see Lance Alworth and Joe Namath play on the same team!! A great combination!
