NEW YORK (Reuters) ? Don Chandler, a Pro Bowl kicker who played on championship teams for the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers, has died at age 76, the Packers said on Friday.
Chandler, who died on Thursday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a member of the Packers' 1965-67 title teams. He earlier spent nine years with the Giants, helping them win the 1956 National Football League (NFL) championship game.
"We are saddened to hear of Don's passing," Packers chief executive Mark Murphy said in a statement.
"He was a significant contributor to the Packers' championship teams of 1965, '66 and '67, and represented the organization with class," Murphy said of Chandler, who was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1975.
He made All-Pro for the 1967 season, his last in the NFL, and was selected the punter on the NFL's all-decade team for the 1960s.
