5585 One Leg Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822914643)

While visiting family in Michigan, Neil Hadley (81), a retired professor, discovers that he can kick a football distances that have never been seen or done before. There is absolutely no explanation for this bizarre ability, nor is there any assurance that this will last. After considering several options, he decides to utilize this gift as a member of an NFL team. Despite his age, he proves that these kicking skills greatly complement the team's offensive and defensive prowess. With each win, Neil's notoriety grows along with the team's rise in the standings. Still, there are some tense moments on the field and a few disappointing setbacks. When all the success appears to be lost, can the leg step up one more time?
