The play-by-play of great moments in their Super Bowl careers demonstrates how they never lost confidence, overcame physical disabilities and in some cases, overcame scoring deficits that at first may have been considered insurmountable. Pictures of these sports heroes during their games, their teammates, the trophies and other related items add to the interest. There is a glossary and index and a note to parents on the opening page.
