George Gipp played not only with his body and mind; he also played with his heart. George Gipp enjoyed playing many sports, but shortly after beginning college at the University of Notre Dame, assistant football coach, Knute Rockne realized where George would excel. This touching story follows George's rise to the top of the Notre Dame football program and his popularity that ensued across the country. Unfortunately, pneumonia took George from all of us much too soon, but his last words to Knute Rockne live on and continue to inspire greatness. This is a must-have for any football fan.
