1966 AFL Boston Patriots Highlights now in Color on DVD!

Description: 1966 BOSTON PATRIOTS HIGHLIGHTS on DVD! ”CHAMPIONS WITHOUT A CROWN" Rare Sportsfilms, Inc. is the rights owner of this DVD The 1966 Boston Patriots had one of their best years in history, almost making it to the AFL championship game (winner went to the first Super Bowl). Head coach Mike Holovak’s club was actually better than its record of 8-4-2, losing more than once on spectacular game-ending plays by the opposition. Second year fullback Jim Nance emerged as a genuine star, setting a new AFL record of 1,458 yds and scoring 11 touchdowns on his way to becoming the AFL MVP. Veteran quarterback Babe Parilli used Nance to help set up his passing game, and Art Graham, Gino Cappelletti and Jim Whelan were all outstanding receivers to throw to. Parilli’s great year kept Heisman trophy winner John Huarte riding the pine most of the season, although you will see him in this film. Cappelletti also did outstanding work as placekicker. The Patriots beat the defending champion Buffalo Bills twice, and with a victory at Shea Stadium on the last day of the season, could have won the AFL Eastern Championship, however, despite Parilli’s 379 yds passing, the Pats lose on the final Sunday, 38-28. In this rare 36-minute DVD you’ll see great AFL action from every game of the season except the first two. Narrated by the familiar old voice of the Patriots Bob Starr, this vintage COLOR film brings back great memories and the feel of Pats AFL football in Fenway Park! Besides those players mentioned above, you’ll see many other Patriots of the day: Jon Morris, Jim Colclough, Ron Hall, Larry Garron, Tom Hennessey, Joe Bellino, Tom Addison, Charley Long, MLB Nick Buoniconti, Chuck Shonta, Tom Neville, Tommy Yewcic, Jim Hunt, Houstine Antwine, Bob Dee, Len St. Jean, Larry Eisenhauer, Don Oakes, Jay Cunningham, Karl Singer, Justin Canale, Lonnie Farmer and rookie Bob Cappadonna.
