Bucher Lloyd
Lloyd Bucher was the Captain of the USS Pueblo spy ship which was captured on January 23, 1968 by North Korea. While POWs, he and the crew gave "the finger" (they described it as the Hawaiian good luck sign) in propaganda photos - not understood by the Koreans until Time magazine explained it in an article. Beatings and torture increased as a result. After 11 months, he and the crew were traded back to the US. Though Bucher faced a Court of Inquiry, a court martial was not convened, and he served normal duties until his retirement. The Pueblo is still a tourist attraction in North Korea.

During his rookie season, Doll had 11 interceptions which he returned for 301 yards, including a 95-yard return for a TD.

In 2008, Doll was selected as a member of the Lions' 75th Season All-Time Team.
