The great Vince Lombardi

In 1964, our family arrived in Wisconsin from Cuba.   We did not know a thing about the NFL or what they call American football.    

It did not take long for my brother and I to fall in love with the Green Bay Packers, or the team coached by the late Vince Lombardi.    

I remember watching a weekly TV show and listening to Coach Lombardi discuss the last game and look ahead to the next team.   It caught my attention and I never missed a show.

Lombardi won 3 NFL titles and the first two Super Bowls.   He was an amazing man.   

In this book, David Maraniss wrote about Lombardi's character, a big part of his success as a coach and man.    It's a great book.
