The two most famous players who have worn number 39 for the San Francisco 49ers were Hall-of-Fame running back Hugh McElhenny (1952-60) and Pro Bowl defensive back/kick returner Kermit Alexander (1963-69). The number was retired in 1971 by the 49ers franchise in McElhenny's honor following his 1970 Hall-of-Fame induction and in celebration of the 49ers' 25th anniversary.
