Forever Young (Paperback)

,
Thirty years ago, the surgeons said that he would never wear a football uniform again. Thirty years later, they laughed - they said he was too old A a¬A] They were wrong And there he was, 45 years old - wearing a Chicago Bears uniform. Thirty years removed from a fractured spine. Thirty years removed from hearing the terrifying words, "you might never walk again." Two minutes from exiting a locker room at Halas Hall, the training camp for the Bears - the culmination of a thirty-year dream. And there he was, sitting alone in that locker room, captured in a glorious, reflective moment. Based on a true story, this book tells of a man who prayed for a miracle, the family that stood by him, an agent who believed in a seemingly impossible dream, a professional football team with a heart as big as the NFL, and the small New England town that cheered on its aging champion. Soon, you'll be cheering too. It's the story that proves that you are never too old A a¬A] That it is never too late A a¬A] That nothing is impossible
