Winning in the Trenches is a fascinating glimpse of a bygone era in professional football from one of the players who epitomized it. With candor, insight, and love for the game, Forrest Gregg takes the reader through a playing career that began in 1956 with the Green Bay Packers and ended, 188 consecutive games later, with the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. Colorful stories of the Lombardi years show how the famed coach turned the dismal Packers into the most dominant team in the sport, despite playing in the toughest division in football. Later chapters chronicle Gregg’s coaching career, including his four tumultuous years as the Packers' head coach, and offer candid yet fair assessments of controversial owners Art Modell and Paul Brown. Gregg covers it all with the directness, honesty, and fairness that make him one of the most admired men ever to play the game.

Excellent Biography,

This review is from: Winning in the Trenches: A Lifetime of Football (Paperback)
Interesting and well written book about a Hall of Fame player and coach. Substantiated things I'd read about Lombardi and the other players on the championship Packer teams. It's fun to read about the days when guys had part time jobs to augment their salaries as football players. Also interesting that guys could start playing football for the first time in High School and still get college scholarships and play pro ball. Buy the book to read about a simpler time in life and football.
