Goodfellows, The Champions of St. Ambrose showcases a true football glory story of guts and heart that spans nearly a decade. Through faith, fight and perhaps fate, the Giant Killers of little St. Ambrose High School rise as titans of their terrain and end up leaving a legacy millions of young boys and coaches aspire to but very few attain.

 

St. Ambrose High, one of the most storied programs in high-school-football history, didn't even have it's own football field. But success pulsated from the three-story building in Detroit between 1957 and 1967, when tiny St. Ambrose produced five football All-Americas, 12 all-state performers, and future NFL players and Super Bowl champs. They were products of this legendary place where old-fashioned values reigned, where teamwork triumphed over individual glory, and where football was the glue of this community.

"This book tells a great story... of hard work, team spirit, and community support combined to create a special era at a very special place." -- Former NFL Head Coach Tony Dungy

"[Rick's book] causes you to feel like you are part of the story... You are at Mass with the entire team - in full uniform, no less - just hours before a huge game." -- Detroit Lions Head Coach Jim Schwartz
