Notre Dame, Chicago Bears and Hunk

Heartley "Hunk" Anderson is a legitimate icon of both college and professional football. This is his story, in his own words as told to veteran writer Emil Klosinski. From his days as a hard-hitting lineman under Knute Rockne at Notre Dame, where he was a teammate and best friend of George Gipp, to his years as the NFL's best defensive line coach with George Halas and the Chicago Bears, Hunk was one of a kind. His life story makes for fascinating reading. "Hunk Anderson is the greatest line coach who ever lived." -- George Halas "Hunk Anderson, pound for pound, is the roughest human being that I have ever known." -- Grantland Rice "There isn't anyone who knows more about line play or can teach it better than Hunk Anderson." -- Knute Rockne "Playing against an Anderson-coached line is like messing around with a jungle full of wounded tigers." -- Curly Lambeau "Anderson is the Master of Defense." -- Gus Henderson "There are few coaches who can compare with Hunk Anderson - he is the best." -- Wayne Millner
