Johnny Unitas' great accolades achieved on the football field were legendary. There have been many volumes written about his achievements, and many people call him the real football GOAT (Greatest of All Time).
But this fascinating, feel-good book by D.P. Smith is more about Johnny's incredible persona off the field, his relationship with the community and his true fans, and how he was adored by a whole generation. A generation that was fortunate enough to have grown up in an era when John Unitas lived, played, and worked. Anyone who knew him or knew of him was so very fortunate to have been touched by the humility and kindness of The Golden Arm Gentleman, John Constantine Unitas.
