Customer Reviews

Despite it's small size [not Doug!], this little pocket book on Flutie has great pics in it - from t

The cover is especially very good as it shows Doug in his 21st and last year in the Pros, w/ New England. The last pic in here is the first NFL successful drop kick in 65 seasons! The coda on his great career! Wya to prove the critics wrong, again, Doug!
