Perhaps for a time the world's Shortest Man? A Brief Biography - compiled by Phil Lambert
Jack Russell Lambert was born on 23rd June 1898 at Queens Road, Crowborough, Sussex, England and baptised on 14th August 1898 at All Saints Church, Crowborough, Sussex, England. He was baptised in the name of Jack Russell Lambert, 'Russell' being his mother's maiden name, and was not given this as a nickname later in life.

He could have had a great future in any of the three sports, but his heart was with football. His famous "smile," missing his front teeth, however, was not from a football injury, but from a basketball incident. In a high school basketball practice, he collided with a teammate and his teeth were knocked out. His mother said that he was very sensitive about it at first. From there, nicknames like "Dracula in cleats" started and followed him through his football career.
Lambert attended college at Kent State, w
