History: Francesco Lentini, Man With Three Legs, Rosolini, Italy

At the age of eight, Lentini moved to the U.S. and entered the sideshow business as The Great Lentini, joining the Ringling Brothers circus act. Later he toured with Barnum and Bailey and Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He gained US citizenship at the age of 30.
In his youth, Lentini used his extraordinary third leg to kick a soccer ball across the stage, hence his show name, the Three-Legged Football Player. While his extra leg was several inches shorter than the others, his primary legs were also two different lengths. He was heard to complain that even with three legs, he still didn't have a pair.
He married Theresa Murray and they had four children.
Frank Lentini died in Jacksonville, Florida on 22 September 1966.
