Describing a storied football history that began 40 years ago, the Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia is the first book to capture the complete legend of one of the American Football League's charter members. Among the players who are profiled are Hall of Famers Buck Buchanan, Len Dawson, Willie Lanier, Jan Stenerud, Otis Taylor, and coach Hank Stram. There are also detailed sketches about the Chiefs' appearance in the first Super Bowl in 1967 and their championship in 1970. Patterned after SPI's popular baseball encyclopedias on the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and Giants, the Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia is destined to become one of the most referenced books in any sports library.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for any die-hard Chief's fan,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for a quite dedicated chiefs fan and he was overwhelmed with all the facts, details, and history that is contained within this book. It is easy to find the fact that you are looking for because the book is well organized. There are many photos (B&W) throughout the book with a special color section in the middle. A great addition to any KC Chiefs fan's library.

This review is from: Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Mark Stallard does a superb job of covering the Chiefs' history, giving colorful descriptions of a scores of players (famous and not so well known) and of the highlights of the seasons for Kansas City. Some of my favorites whom I had met, Jerry Mays and Willie Lanier, are given excellent coverage as are the players of various years through 2004. Unfortunately, this edition came out before Larry Johnson established himself as one of the league's great rushers; but an excellent synopsis of Priest Holmes is there, along with Buck Buchanan,Lenny Dawson, Joe Montana, Ernie Ladd and others. I thoroughly recommend this volume to any Chiefs' or NFL fan. The $8.12 edition is spotless and attractively and sturdily bound.
