Tom Dempsey, of the New Orleans Saints, was born without toes on his right (kicking) foot. Technically, this is not the same thing as "club foot", though some people do not recognize the difference. Dempsey's foot was fitted with a special shoe that maximized the area in contact with the football, enabling him to kick it harder and farther than other kickers. He kicked the longest field goal in NFL history, 63 yards, in 1970. Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos has since tied that record (in 1998), but his kick was in the thin air of Mile High Stadium, while Dempsey's was in the much denser air of New Orleans.
Dempsey also played for the Eagles, Rams, Oilers, and Bills, but it was during his two-year stint at New Orleans that he kicked the record field goal.
