This is a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer of April 28, 1974, indicating that the story of "Vince Papale," a fictional character who made the Eagles despite "playing only one year of high school football," is based ("inspired") loosely- very loosely - on that of a real-life Vince Papale. This documents that fact that the real Vince Papale played a year of minor league football (1973) in the Seaboard League; he would go on, as other documents show, to play two years of professional football (1974 and 1975) with the Philadelphia Bell of the World Football League. Hate to spoil a great chicks' flick, but the real Vince Papale was a lot more than a simply 30-year-old, down-on-his-luck bartender whose football experience was limited to one year of high school football (and 12 or 13 years ago at that!) when he signed with the Eagles in 1976. To further rain on Disney's story, he was not signed by the Eagles at an "open tryout," but rather at a private workout arranged by Eagles' GM Jim Murray and coach Dick Vermeil.
