Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2001

From the early days, when players wore leather helmets and provided their own gear, to today's multimillion-dollar contracts, WHAT GIANTS THEY WERE reveals the triumphs and trials of legendary Giants players in their own words, accompanied by archival photos of some of the team's greatest moments. Firsthand, behind-the-scenes accounts of these legends of the gridiron are sure to fascinate Giants fans and football enthusiasts alike. WHAT GIANTS THEY WERE follows one of our oldest football teams from its fledgling days as a failing franchise through the championship dynasty of the fifties and sixties and on to the Super Bowl victories of the nineties.

This review is from: What Giants They Were: New York Giants Greats Talk About Their Teams, Their Coaches, and the Times of Their Lives (Paperback)

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS AND SHORT STORIES ABOUT SOME OF THE LEGENDARY GIANTS OF THE EARLY ERA AND MOSTLY OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF THE LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S. IT IS A FASCINATING COLLECTION ALONG WITH SOME GREAT PICTURES. I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK, EVEN THOUGH I AM A BROWNS FAN. A BOOK THAT SHOULD BE A MUST READ FOR GIANT AND THE NOSTALGIC FOOTBALL FAN.
VERY RECOMMENDED.
