Vince: A Personal Biography of Vince Lombardi
Lombardi's legacy reaches far beyond the football field. For a large part of the populace, the man who said "winning isn't the most important thing; it's the only thing" was a symbol of the virtues needed to succeed at anything. O'Brien portrays him as essentially a simple man"a fundmentalist in his football, his character, his religion, and his values." Surprisingly, this is the first major biography of the man to appear. Earlier works like Lombardi, edited by John Wiebusch (1971), and Lombardi: winning is the only thing, edited by Jerry Kramer (1970), relied heavily on excerpts of interviews with friends and colleagues of the legendary coach.
