Born on Christmas Day, 1945, Kenneth Michael Stabler would go on to become one of the more prominent figures in Raiders history. Known affectionately as "Snake," Ken Stabler would champion the Raiders to a Super Bowl victory, set numerous passing records, and personify what it meant to be a Raiders back in the 1970s.
Stabler was born in Foley, Alabama, and would go on to star for the local Alabama Crimson Tide. Taking over as the starter as a junior, Stabler led his team to an 11-0 record, although they were not awarded the national title.
