His wife gives up on him saying he'll never amount to anything and asks for a divorce. He works as a bartender and plays football with his friends. When the the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil, announces that he will hold open tryouts for the team, Vince reluctantly decides to give a try. In an almost unheard of feat, he manages to make the team and enjoyed a three year career as a professional football player. Based on a true story. Written by garykmcd

Trivia
In the game scene at Texas Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles actually come out of the Dallas Cowboy home tunnel and are on the actual Dallas Cowboy home sidelines. This was done due to the sunlight coming in from the top of the stadium and affecting the cameras. You'll notice that on screen Dallas Cowboys have tremendous amount of sun on their sidelines where as the Eagles don't. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: During the last game Vince Papale is tackled over the sidelines. When he is getting back on his feet you can see that he is wearing a modern Riddell power shoulder pad not in production at the time. See more »Quotes
