Description

John Eisenberg’s That First Season is the seldom-studied prequel to an exquisite football career for Vince Lombardi and the Packers, drawing on exhaustive new research and interviews to inform an unbelievable ensemble tale of a team, a the city, and their leader.

 

The once-vaunted Green Bay Packers were a laughing stock by the overdue 1950s. They hadn’t fielded a winning team in additional than a decade and were with regards to losing their franchise to every other city. They were in desperate need of a savior, and he arrived in a picket-paneled station wagon within the dead of winter from New York City. In a single year, Vince Lombardi—the grizzled coach who took no bull—transformed a team of underachievers into winners and resurrected a city known for its passion for sport.
