I'm not a Gamecock fan but enjoyed the story of Wadiak and what 'superstardom' looked like for a college football player in the late 1940s. Great read for anyone who has ever wondered about the man behind that big banner at Williams-Brice Stadium!Product details

The CadillacThe Life Story of University of South Carolina Football Legend Steve Wadiak Mike Chibbaro 9781495114397 Books Reviews
The Cadillac is the perfect nickname for Steve Wadiak Like the popular car of the late 40s and 50s, Steve was all class, with power and speed to burn. The author has done a great favor for college football fans (not just Univ. of South Carolina fans) with this moving and entertaining tribute to Steve Wadiak, beginning with Steve's mother immigrating from the Ukraine just after the turn of the century, and on through Steve's childhood in the Burnside neighborhood of Chicago. The book really picks up steam when Steve Wadiak enlists in the Navy during World War II, then, after the war, boards a southbound train from Chicago to South Carolina for an "all or none" tryout before the USC coaching staff. You will appreciate Steve's work ethic and his awesome ability to run the football, but more than this you will appreciate him as a person -- a man who accepted fame with great humility, and one who always had an eye out for less fortunate people around him. Thank you, Mike Chibbaro, for crafting this biography, for re-introducing football fans to a collegiate hero, and for showing us through the life of Steve Wadiak the optimism so prevalent in post World War II America. Great job.
Historic sports figure at University of South Carolina.
My husband loved the book as he is a big fan of university is s,c football
GREAT
Loved it. A great read.
Great gift for my father in-law, he will love it.
I love this book. As a person who enjoys many types of history, I knew quite a bit of the exploits of Steve Wadiak on the football field. However this book goes way beyond those great feats and delves into Steve's life and character where you feel as if you were right there with him. It is a tale of triumph and tragedy that every serious USC Gamecock fan should read and cherish.
I'm not a Gamecock fan but enjoyed the story of Wadiak and what 'superstardom' looked like for a college football player in the late 1940s. Great read for anyone who has ever wondered about the man behind that big banner at Williams-Brice Stadium!
