Football Story
This short documentary from the On the Spot series - “National Film Board’s up to the minute report of what’s happening somewhere in Canada? – invites us to visit the Edmonton Eskimos football team on their home ground. Host Fred Davis introduce us to some of the team’s key players and interviews its 28 year-old coach Darrell Royal, a firm believer in the use of moving pictures in the coaching of modern football.

I loaded up the NFB app on my PlayBook to see if I could find the video. It's the featured video there too.
Wow! Great to see young coach Darrel Royal when he coached the Eskimos before he went on a legendary run with the Texas Longhorns. (the man has a stadium named after him)
