The Vince Lombardi Playbook offers an unprecedented view of the legendary coach. Photographs, anecdotes from players groomed by Lombardi, add depth to this title. Most impressively, under a license with the Lombardi estate, pages from Lombardi's playbook will be included. Phil Barber, who has twenty years of experience in sportswriting, expertly explains these diagrams as sports fans experience the thrill of seeing the playbook for the first time ever.
