With a few exceptions, there is little else that is more important to the typical resident of Wisconsin than the Green Bay Packers. These fans will endure an Arctic freeze, a torrential downpour, or a sweltering August night to watch their beloved Packers. As the famed Lambeau Leap symbolizes, players have never been mere numbers to the faithful. Instead, fans literally embrace Packers like members of their extended families.

From Paul Hornung to Dorsey Levens, Willie Davis to Ahman Green, Jim Taylor to Donald Driver, Jerry Kramer to Brett Favre, the book looks not only at the playing careers of many former Packers, but also their lives after their playing days ended.
The book reveals fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from four decades of Packers football. It also tests the most fanatic fan’s knowledge of team historymost of whom would be hard pressed to name the player gave up his number when Reggie White came on board in Green Bay. Trivia buffs will also be challenged to name the quarterback who got his chance to start even after Don Majkowski set the league on fire the season before.
