The true story of the NFL's oldest rookie In 1976, Vince Papale was
thirty, a former schoolteacher and part-time bartender, and a
season ticket-holder for his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. When he
heard that Coach Dick Vermeil was holding open tryouts, he decided
to give it a shot. Shocking himself and the coaches, he ran an
explosive 40-yard-dash in just 4.5 seconds -- a world-class time --
and was offered a contract on the spot. When he joined the team,
Papale became the oldest non-kicking rookie in NFL history, a fan
favorite who played for four years and was named a team captain.
Invincible is Vince Papale's story, and a tie-in to the Disney
Pictures film of the same name starring Mark Wahlberg as Papale and
Greg Kinnear as Vermeil. But more than just a tie-in, it tells
Papale's story in his own words, covering subjects not included in
the film. Like Rudy, Glory Road, and Rookie, it is the true story
of an ordinary man who achieves an extraordinary goal.
