The 1966 Green Bay Packers: Profiles of Vince Lombardi's Super Bowl I Champions (Great Teams in Pro Football History) Paperback – July 5, 2016

The book recounted the greatest coach in pro football history leading the Green Bay Packers to 5 NFL championships in 8 years. The outcome of Super Bowl I was a fitting conclusion to one of many Packers great accomplishments in American sports.

Vary happy with the book it was a gift to my son

fun read about Lombardi's Packers. Lots of background facts.

Interesting story of one of several great Packer teams.

The book goes deeper in depth than any I've seen on the Packers of that era. Any sports fan will enjoy the close up look at each player and coach that George Bozeka and his team of researchers have jammed into this book.It is true that every team is the sum of its parts but this book breaks down each part that made up the Packers organization that Lombardi led From the stadiums where the Packers played home games to the reporters that covered the team, every part of that first Super season is covered in real detail.I was especially taken by the section covering The Press. Sports journalism was different in those days and the men who wrote the words, shot the pictures and called the games had different relationships with the Packers than the men and women who do the same jobs for professional sports teams today. In that sense, this book is a look back at an era in sports when things were different.Don't get the idea that this is a book of nostalgia with longing for a bygone era. Instead, this is a text book for the study of one of professional football's greatest champions.Lee Elder

A well researched and well written history of one of the NFL's most legendary teams. This book covers every aspect of the 1966 Packers including game summaries and box scores, team statistics and honors, bios of every coach and player, bios of key media members that covered the team, and additional feature chapters on Lambeau Field, Milwaukee County Stadium, the 1966 Packers Taxi Squad, how the 1966 Packers were built, and Race and the Packers. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and look forward to the next entry in the series.

The 1966 Green Bay Packers were arguably one of Vince Lombardi's greatest teams. This book provides the reader with virtually every segment of that incredible season, from descriptions of every game, to biographies of every player, to a wealth of statistics and sources used. Well over a dozen contributors give this book a unique and comprehensive flair. If you're a Packers fan, this book should be in your collection.

Just thrilled to get this book
