Prominent Alumni
In 2004, Vince Papale, a native of Glenolden, Pennsylvania, was inducted in the Interboro hall of fame. He played three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, and was only an inspiration for the 2006 movie Invincible which very little followed Vince's "real" life. Vince actually was a long term substitute for Interboro when his Eagles opportunity came about. Unlike the movie, he was a bartender in the small town of Prospect Park in Delaware County rather than in the city of Philadelphia.

Famous quotes containing the word prominent:
“The soldier here, as everywhere in Canada, appeared to be put forward, and by his best foot. They were in the proportion of the soldiers to the laborers in an African ant-hill.... On every prominent ledge you could see England’s hands holding the Canadas, and I judged from the redness of her knuckles that she would soon have to let go.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
