Vince Lombardi

Football Codes

Vince Lombardi was an American professional football coach and executive in the National Football League, entered here because the football world counts him among its defining figures. He is best known as head coach of the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s, when the team won five league championships in seven years, three of them in a row, along with the first two Super Bowls. He began coaching at a New Jersey high school, worked as an assistant at Fordham and Army and with the New York Giants, and finished with the Washington Redskins in 1969 and 1970. He never had a losing season, and the Super Bowl trophy carries his name.
