We have Mr. Invincible himself as we are joined by Vince Papale! He sits down and talks about the movie based on his life, life after football, what he is up to now and more!
Vince Papale-
The year 1976 was a time when Philadelphia fans were buried in 11 years of defeat when Americans were battling the lingering effects of Watergate, the Vietnam War, and a sweeping energy crisis. Ordinary people appeared badly in need of a champion from their ranks, and this local schoolteacher/coach answered their call. Vince Papale did the unthinkable and took on an insurmountable challenge making the Philadelphia Eagles. Re-inventing himself from a 30-year schoolteacher, who did not play football in college, to an NFL star, Vince Papale defied the million-to-one odds against him. Not only did he make the team, but he was voted by his teammate's Captain of the Special Teams and most recently was selected by the fans as the best Special Teamer in the Eagle's 75-year history. So incredible is his journey that Disney felt compelled to tell his Invincible story on the silver screen with 'Invincible' starring Mark Wahlberg. Now, Vince has evolved into one of the most sought-after speakers in the USA, bringing inspiration to anyone who may need it!
