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:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
