Highlighting each of the 27 Green Bay Packers enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame--including such luminaries as Earl "Curly" Lambeau, Bart Starr, Vince Lombardi, Brett Favre and Charles Woodson--this book takes a comprehensive look at each player. Biographical information, key facts and figures, anecdotes and little-known facts are provided, along with their own recollections of their biggest games. Appendices cover Packers of honorable mention (who should be or perhaps will be HOF inductees), and player stats.
Pro Football Researchers Association member Michael Jacquart edited a magazine for employee assistance professionals. He has been published in Packerland Pride magazine and this is his second Packers book. He lives in Iola, Wisconsin.
