Toni Fritsch

Though hardly speaking any English at all, he decided to sign a contract as an undrafted free agent, move to the United States and join the team's training camp.He was activated on 1 November after starting the season on the taxi squad,[1] making his NFL debut against the St. Louis Cardinals, where he kicked a game-winning field goal in a 16–13 victory.[6] The next year Herrera was placed on the injured reserve list and Fritsch came back to lead the NFL in points (104) and field goals (22, tied with Jan Stenerud).[10] Fritsch was signed as a free agent by the New Orleans Saints in 1982, to replace an injured rookie Morten Andersen and reuniting with his former head coach Bum Phillips.After his retirement he worked in Europe as a sports commentator and in the world of finance, providing support to Austrian businessmen who wanted to settle in the United States.Even though Fritsch worked for his former Austrian football (soccer) club Rapid Vienna for one year in 1992–1993, he remained a resident of Houston throughout the rest of his life.
