Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Leahy was the football coach and athletic director at Notre Dame from 1941 to 1954, missing two years for military service. In his first seven seasons, his teams won 60 games, lost three and tied five, and were voted national champions four times: in '43, '46, '47 and '49. As a member of one of those squads, Connor presents a game-by-game account of seasons past, offering profiles of players, including Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame's first Heisman Trophy winner. His portrait of Leahy as a stiff, formal, remote coach is intriguing, as is his conclusion that the teams did so well because of conditioning. Mainly of interest for Fighting Irish alumni.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Years!, August 18, 2003
By A Customer
If you're a Notre Dame fan, and don't know the names, Johnny Lujack, Angelo Bertelli, Creighton Miller, George Connor, Jim Martin, Leon Hart, Emil Sitko, John Panelli, Bill Fischer, or Frank Leahy, you need this book. These players, and many others, played at a time (1940's) when you played both offence and defense. During this period, Notre Dame won 4 National Championships, produced 3 Heisman Trophy winners, 2 Outland Trophy winners, and numerous All-Americans.

Jack Connor has written a lively and entertaining book about these great players with many personal stories and insight, and he should know, he was one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great chronicle!, August 3, 2000
By J. Mello (Lebanon, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a wonderful chronicle of the men who played for Frank Leahy and the impact that he had upon them as they progressed beyond Notre Dame. My grandfather played fullback for Leahy and I had him sign copies for my kids as a lasting momento of the experience he had while playing at Notre Dame.
