Green & Gold Memories: Growing up in Vince Lombardi's Green Bay
Relive the glory years of Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers with the nostalgic new memoir, Green & Gold Memories.
Author Roger Dier seamlessly blends poignant childhood memories growing up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the breathless excitement of everyone's favorite hometown team. A portrayal of Green Bay in the 1960s, Dier’s memoir tackles everything from family dynamics and school shenanigans to his days playing youth sports and building lifelong friendships with the Lemerond brothers.
But Green & Gold Memories orbits around the powerful gravity of Vince Lombardi’s football teams and the community-wide impact that the Green Bay Packers had under Lombardi's now legendary reign during the 1960s. Eventually leading his team to five National Football League titles, two Super Bowl wins, and the famous 1967 NFL Championship nicknamed "The Ice Bowl," Lombardi didn't just unite a team—he brought together a community.
Dier reveals never-before-told stories about the beloved coach through extensive interviews with those in the know, including the late Palmiro (Paul) Mazzoleni and Chuck Mercein—a player who fans might remember as the "Hero of the Ice Bowl."
Whether you're a diehard football fan or couldn't tell a quarterback from a running back, Green & Gold Memories is sure to warm your heart—and ignite the sports fan within.
