how did bay city rollers get their name
Bay City Rollers In 1966 bassist Alan Longmuir, his younger brother, drummer Derek Longmuir and their schoolfriend, lead singer Gordon "Nobby" Clark, founded The Saxons in Edinburgh, Scotland. Soon after, they changed to The Bay City Rollers by throwing a dart at a map of the United States, which landed near Bay City, Michigan.[2] The Bay City Rollers' first manager was Tam Paton, himself a former big band leader.[3] Short-term members from this period included bassist David Paton (from 1969 to 1970) and keyboardist Billy Lyall (1969â€“71), who went on to be founding members of another successful Edinburgh band, Pilot.
Green Bay Packers The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919[1] by former high-school football rivals Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.[12] Lambeau solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company. He was given $500 ($6,900 today) for uniforms and equipment, on the condition that the team be named for its sponsor. The Green Bay Packers have played in their original city longer than any other team in the NFL.
