Popular biography of the great athlete from South Dakota who, while playing for Huron College, set a record for the most points scored by a college football player in the United States. (Prior to that, he played basketball for Hayti High School, starring in four consecutive State "B" basketball tournaments.) After playing briefly under Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers in the National Football League, Henley enjoyed a long and illustrious football career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. This culminated in his winning the Schenley Award as the Most Outstanding Player in Canada.
About the Author
Robert Nielsen and Garney Henley both taught at Hillfield-Strathallan Colleges in Hamilton Ontario. Other than being teachers - and friends - the two men had little in common: Henley played more than two hundred games of football with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, both on offense and defence; Nielsen wrote a book called Athlete's Foot; or, How I Failed at Sports. Henley, father of four, lives in Huron, South Dakota with his wife Charlotte; Nielsen, father of three, lives in Stoney Creek, Ontario with his wife Valerie.

Reviews
"The book reads like a documentary on paper. For people who are football fans, the book is an interesting look at the mind and career of probably the best defensive back to ever lace on cleats in Canada."
Al Ferris
Guelph Daily Mercury.
And One More: "It is very intimate, very thorough, and should have a wide market."
Bob Hanley
Hamilton Spectator.
