"This is a basic biography of eventual football Hall of Farmer Elroy Hirsch. It details some of the inures he had to overcome before joining the Los Angeles Ram. The biographer is pretty straight forward. The film is made more interesting due to the historic footage of Crazy Legs going back to his days as a university player. Many of the great players from that time are in this film especially those on the Rams, black players like Deacon Towler and Tank Younger, Hofers like Tom Fears and Norm Van Brocklin. This film is way better than expected and should be of great interest to football fans. R..."
💡 Did You Know?
(at around 55 mins) When the first play is shown, the Rams' Quarterback (Robert Waterfield) runs the ball down the right sideline, it may appear that he is tackled and down at the 7-yard line. However, while that would be true by the NFL rules today, this game was played in 1954 when the rules for tackling were more similar to rugby - the tackler had to maintain his grasp on the downed runner, otherwise the runner was still free to continue forward.
