    Too young to appreciate Unitas, but if there was a Jordan for the original NFL Johnny U. would have been the avatar.

    P.S. You should put your article on Barcelona's page instead of the general international footie page. I think you'd get lots more reads. I just happened to come across your nice article and I'm glad I did, but targeted the Barca audience would get you more exposure.
