The Last Coach: A Life of Paul “Bear” Bryant

$41.80 inc. VAT

 

When Paul William “Bear” Bryant died on January 26, 1983, it was the lead story on the all three networks’ evening news. New York City newspapers reported his death on their front pages. (“Crimson Tears,” read the headline in the New York Post, “Nation weeps over death of legendary Bear Bryant, 69.”) Three days later, America watched in awe as an estimated quarter of a million mourners lined the fifty-five mile stretch from Tuscaloosa to a Birmingham cemetery to pay their respects as his three-mile long funeral cortege drove by.
