There would be no shortages for a candidate for superstar amongst all-time football heroes.

My candidate for all-time football hero would be Jack Mildren, the man often called the "Godfather of the Wishbone".

That was the most major attempt ever undertaken to make a science out of American football. The NFL variety is basically crude by comparison.

I had forgotten about Jack Mildren.

I remember him running the wishbone to absolute perfection against a really good Auburn team.

Auburn had a very aggressive defense which was just what the wishone performed best against.
