Like many other men of his stature, he is also something of a mystery to those outside of his intimate circle. Hall of Fame player and Lombardi favorite Paul Hornung enlisted his old teammates and others who are a part of the NFL or closely associated with the coach to share their most personal thoughts and reminiscences about the greatest coach who ever lived. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - lombardi and meAbout the worst book about Lombardi I have ever read. Written is a total over statement, this book appears to have been put together solely to make money from Lombardi's name, not worth a quarter. Rating:  - A Good Inside LookHaving read David Maraniss's book about Lombardi gave me a complete picture of the man's life....this book by Paul Horung fills in the gaps. It presents a more-personal account by the people who knew him the best.

Overall the book was a keeper. Lombardi's own speeches have been reread many times. Makes you realize how little leadership there is in the current majority in Congress. Rating:  - A bit sloppyI have respected Paul Hornung's contributions to football and appreciate his perspectives. This is a well meaning book with some new recollections on Vince Lombardi--they help to provide additional insight into the coach and demonstrate the personal impact he had on his players and others that knew him. There are plentiful photos, most of Hornung and Lombardi ( most published before). However, this book is in need of better formatting and editing. First much of this book appears to based upon one or ... Read More
