PAUL MAGUIRE
Punter-Linebacker
No. 55
The Citadel
In 1969 Paul continued to be one of the best punters in pro football. His 3,471 punting yards led the AFL, his 44.5 yards per punt were second and his booming punts included a 78-yarder, the AFL's second longest of the year.
A seasoned veteran of many campaigns, Paul was one of only twenty players who were in the American Football League for its entire ten-year existence. He played in six of the ten AFL Championship Games — three with the Chargers and three with the Bills, winning three AFL Championship rings.
BRUCE ALFORD
Place Kicker

Last year Bruce continued to give the Bills their best placekicking since the departure of Pete Gogolak. His 17 field goals were fifth in the AFL, his 65.4 field goal percentage fourth and his total of 74 points was good for ninth in the circuit.
On October 11 in Buffalo against Boston, Bruce's three field goals included 22-yarder to put Buffalo ahead 16-13 in a 23-16 win. On November 30 at home against Cincinnati, he kicked field goals of 33, 24 and 35 yards, the last putting Bills ahead 9-6 in the 3rd quarter of a 16-13 win.
