It was one of the greatest and most successful syndicated television shows of all-time - "Greatest Sports Legends", creator Berl Rotfeld's weekly half-hour profile/interview show that ran on local TV stations throughout North America on weekend afternoons for an amazing 21 years (1973 through 1993). With classic archival footage, biographical background info, and up-close and personal interviews from locations such as Paul Hornung's Manhattan Penthouse, and the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California, these programs presented the legendary stories of the greatest stars in sport to generations of fans. Compiled from the vast show archives comes this fantastic DVD set, featuring 16 classic football episodes that profile some of the greatest Hall of Fame superstars of all-time. Included on the discs are episodes featuring: Elroy Hirsch (interviewed by Paul Hornung, 1975), Gale Sayers (int. Hornung, 1975), Lenny Moore (int. Hornung, 1973), Bob Hayes (interviewed by Tom Seaver, 1978), OJ Simpson (interviewed by Michael Jordan, 1988), Jim Taylor (int. Hornung, 1973), Frank Gifford (int.
