Alworth's Number To Be Retired



In tribute to the accomplishments of legendary wide receiver Lance Alworth, the first American Football League player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and one of the most popular athletes in San Diego history, the San Diego Chargers will formally retire jersey number 19 in a halftime ceremony during the Chargers-Bills game on November 20.

Alworth's famous number 19 will join Dan Fouts' number 14 as the only two retired numbers in the team's 46-year history. Fouts' number was retired in 1988.
