From the Inside Flap

The Eagles moved to Philadelphia in 1933, following the migration of professional football to big cities. If you know where the Eagles played before that—and what their nickname was—you probably also know who Alabama Pitts played for before joining the Eagles. You probably also know who the first Eagle to be named an All-Pro was, how many record-setting touchdowns Steve Van Buren scored in 1945, and which college Wilbert Montgomery attended.

If indeed you know those answers, you must be a die-hard fan, and you will certainly enjoy the engaging stories and anecdotes highlighted in Eagles Essential. If you stumbled over most or all of the questions, this book is your chance to learn about the rich and colorful history of the Philadelphia Eagles—and to upgrade your status as a fan.

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the oldest franchises in the NFL and have been blessed with a bounty of marvelous players and moments in their seven-decade history.

The Super Bowls and the near-misses. The up-and-(mostly)-down early years. The glorious 1940s. The star-studded 1960 team. The rebirth at the turn of the century. It’s all here. Greasy Neale, "Concrete Charlie" Bednarik, Tommy McDonald, Dick Vermeil, Wilbert Montgomery, Reggie White, Randall Cunningham, Donovan NcNabb, and T.O. are here, too, along with the oddballs, flakes, and one-hit wonders.

And there’s trivia, special top-10 lists, dozens of archival photos, and much more, all contained in this handy reference that tells the story of one of the NFL’s oldest and most compelling franchises.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad.., January 31, 2008
This review is from: Eagles Essential: Everything You Need to Know to Be a Real Fan! (Hardcover)
This book is a quick read. The chapters are short and easily digested. This book gives a lot of information on other franchises that existed during the early years of pro football. While not as in depth throughout as I might have liked,I would recommend this book as an addition to any Eagles fan's home library. All serious NFL fans could also enjoy this read as well.
