The Child Who Loved Football
Written by Terrence Knox
A football placed in a little boy’s hands becomes a lifelong lesson in perseverance, friendship, responsibility, and giving back. Terry’s story begins in Newark, where Uncle Jimmy gives him his first football at age two, and continues through a move to East Orange, school days, football camp, and the chance to become a coach himself.
From watching the Immaculate Reception to learning that good grades and good behavior belong alongside success on the field, Terry discovers that football is about much more than winning. Years later, as an educator and coach, he passes those lessons to a new generation, just as his uncle once did for him.
