	George Allen (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Allen was born in Detroit, Michigan, where his father, Earl Allen, was recorded in the 1920 and 1930 U. census records for Wayne County, Michigan as working as a chauffeur to a private family.
		During Allen's early years with the Redskins, the team was known as the "Over the Hill Gang," due to the number of players on the team with lots of past NFL experience, such as quarterback Billy Kilmer (the moniker "Over the Hill Gang" having come from a 1969 television movie).
		Allen's death has become an urban legend and was the inspiration for a plot line in the Seinfeld episode "The PEZ Dispenser".

	Amazon.ca: Fifth Quarter: the Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter: Books: Jennifer Allen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Allen, daughter of George Allen, one of professional football's most prominent coaches in the 1960s and 1970s, has written a unique book about the life sports fans rarely see: the home life of a coach's family with a father so focused on winning a Super Bowl championship that his family seemed hardly to matter.
		George Allen is not alive to defend himself, but the portrait his daughter draws is of a man totally dedicated to football to the exclusion of all else.
		The author tells of moving many times as the elder Allen took different coaching jobs; of never celebrating Christmas because it fell during the NFL playoffs; and of her father's paranoia about other teams to the point that he slept in his office during the season so that no other coach could outwork him.
