Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi died of cancer on September 3, 1970. During his career as head coach, he compiled an amazing 105-35-6 record (including postseason) and never had a losing season. He led the Green Bay Packers to 5 NFL titles, including victories in the first two Super Bowls (1967-68). Shortly after his death, Lombardi was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, and the Super Bowl trophy was named in his honor.
