From then on this fascinating compendium of football lore and legends takes the reader on a journey through time, exploring each succeeding football season over the decades. Officially sponsored by the National Football League, this sports-lover's gem of a book is brimming with colorful quotes, inspired illustrations, and the greatest historical football photographs ever assembled.
