NEWLY REVISED! BIGGER AND BETTER! In the 1960's, Max McGee and Fuzzy Thurston, left end and left guard of the Lombardi-coached Green Bay Packers, opened the Left Guard Steak House in Appleton, Wisconsin. It quickly became the favorite hang-out of football players and fans alike. Not only were Dave Robinson, Herb Adderly, Jerry Kramer, Ken Bowman, Boyd Dowler, Jim Carter, Donny Anderson and other Packers frequent visitors, but many other NFL players stopped when they were in the area. I spent many hours there, first as a customer and then as a bartender. These are my first-hand recollections of all the shenanigans, the late night bar hours, the after bar parties, and the general zaniness that went on, fueled by the wide-open Sixties and the excitement of the Packers winning three world football championships. It's also the story of how I got started in the business, and all the crazy escapades, oddball incidents and colorful characters that marked my career behind the bar at several other interesting places, including one of the first nude dancing clubs in the state.
