Heart of a Lion: The Wild and Woolly Life of Bobby Layne

Layne is still remembered as the Detroit Lions quarterback who partied every night yet led his team to victory more Sundays than not. In a pedestrian biography St. John ( The Landry Legend ; On Down the Road ) concentrates on Layne's pro career, which began with the Chicago Bears, involved a one-year stay with the moribund New York Bulldogs, and then eight and a half years with Detroit and four and a half with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Almost all the experts agree: Layne was not the best passer, not the best runner, not the best scrambler, but no one wanted to win more than he did, and no one better understood the importance of camaraderie to a team's success. Before he died at age 59 in 1986, he danced every dance, as they say in his native Texas. Photos not seen by PW.

5The Last Great Detroit Lions QB  Sep 06, 2008
By CMUBrent
A very enjoyable read about the last great Lions quarterback, a man who never wanted the party to end, but never let that get in the way of getting the job done on the field. He wasn't the model for "athlete of the day", didn't throw the tightest spirals and wasn't the best runner. But few quarterbacks, before or after, had as fierce a desire to win as Layne did, and the Lions are still looking for his replacement, 50 years after trading him to Pittsburgh.

The one thing that I found weird about this book was the order. At the beginning of the book, you would expect to read about Layne's childhood and high school career. Instead, you go straight into his days with the Lions. In fact, the order of the book goes like this:

1. Lions
2. Steelers
3. Childhood
4. High School Football
5. University of Texas
6. Chicago Bears and New York Bulldogs
7. Retirement

Despite the strange setup of the book, it's still a very interesting read. Layne's teammate/lifelong friend Doak Walker was right: "Bobby never lost a game in his life, but time ran out on him a few times."

Highly recommended.
