Gale Gillingham is in the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame for a reason – many reasons, really..

He was one tough son-of-a-gun who stepped into the World Champion Green Bay Packers training camp, put the metal to the pedal and never let up.

That’s why today we focus on the Packers hall-of-famer today as we stop and take a gander around at #68 while continuing our numbers countdown here at Lombardi Ave.

There have been others who have worn the number well – guys like Greg Koch – another Packers Hall-of-Famer – and Mike Wahle – a solid starter at guard for the Packers during their run through the 1990s.
