Produktbeschreibung
Preeminent football historian Richard Whittingham brings together vintage and contemporary photographs and a clorful blend of facts, features, and profiles to create a book no Washington 'Skins football fan should be without. Whittingham traces the club's beginnings in Boston as the Braves, through its successful move to out nation's capital. It's all here, from the almost comedically inept teams of the fifties to George Allen's Over-the-Hill-Gang, which began a resurgence that carried the Redskins to four Super Bowls. There are profiles of such rich and zany personalities as George Preston Marshall, the team's first owner, who often seemed more interested in the halftime show than the game; quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, who made headlines by calling America's first female Supreme Court Justice "Sandy Baby." This is a "keeper" for Redskin fans of all ages.
