"I was fascinated by Harry Gilmer and wanted to learn to throw the ball just like him." — Bart Starr

I've been the luckiest football player ever.

I'd like to pay tribute to what are unquestionably the world's greatest fans. They are very loyal and very rabid. And I had the time of my life when I played in front of them.

I really think just the honor of playing on five championship teams in seven years is the best thing.

You look at the quality players and look at the leadership we had, and it's easy to understand why we won.
