Publisher's summary

*Second Edition with 20 new photos added* Rare pictures of Grambling's undefeated, untied, and unscored 1942 "Unteam" along with the 1955 undefeated team are highlighted in this second issue of "MY FRIEND EDDIE ROBINSON" Buck Godfrey gives a new take on a man whose vision, tenacity and honesty opened the door for many. The reader will meet Paul "Tank" Younger and James "Shank" Harris, pioneers in professional football. More importantly, he will meet the symbol of the "gorilla," the essence of the classic, the building of the brand and pure simplicity of a man whose favorite dessert is peach ice cream and vanilla wafers. Enjoy this informative look at an icon by a true friend and mentee. -Clemente Gordon All SWAC '88, '89, Offensive Player of the Year '89, Jake Gaither Award '90, Freedom Bowl MVP '90 This book captures a panorama of novelties unknown by most people. It is touching, informative and honest. Buck Godfrey tries to benchmark Grambling and Eddie Robinson. He succeeds. -Robert Parham, NFL Running Back- San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints I am so glad that Coach Godfrey wrote this book on my great-grandfather, Eddie G. Robinson. Many know him as this huge iconic figure and now as an adult, I see why. He took pride in the development of young men both on and off the field. Buck Godfrey was the same and the insight that Coach Godfrey gives of my great-grandfather in this book is second to none. Eddie G. Robinson was a man of simplicity who transcended the sport of football. He was a trailblazer who left a legacy that in all likelihood will never be repeated. -Quentin Burrell, Notre Dame alumni, and Grambling Receiver Coach
