Best Book on Maple Leafs' history!,
By John E. Algas (Glassport, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maple Leaf Legends: 75 Years of Toronto's Hockey Heroes (Hardcover)
This is a great book. It contains 75 best players, as well as coaches, from late 1920s to 2002. All favorite players are here in this book, including Darryl Sittler, Syl Apps, Mats Sundin, and Curtis Joseph. Coach Punch Imlach is also in it. It has both color and black & white photographs. It is for all Leafs fans who bleed blue & white and also for any hockey fans.
