O knihe

The true story of friends, the love of football, and how the two made them the best.
Follow the real five-year journey of a football player and the bond he developed with his teammates and coaches. This inspiring story details the wild times they shared in their quest to be the best and how they became one of the top football teams in California and in the country. They were from a small Air Force school, and the bond they had as brothers made them unstoppable as teammates.
From ages 13 to 18 they ruled the gridiron as "No Names." They won 45 games, lost 4, and tied 2. They had three undefeated seasons.
A revealing, emotional, fun-filled memoir gives a firsthand account and a behind the facemask visual how they became champions; and a heartwarming comeback of a high school football player who wanted to share the field with his friends one last time.
Football is a violent sport. The author, Jeff Rooney, learned that the hard way after being knocked unconscious, for three hours, from a hit during a game. He returned the next season, wearing a special helmet, to co-lead his team in their quest for the championship.
Pictures throughout this 512 page book give life to their incredible journey.
"Thirty years after our championship season we returned to Vanden High School for our first reunion. Photos from that reunion are in the book. The book also contains quotes from some coaches and players and 'Where are they now?' There are 300 plus images: consisting of newspaper article photos, headlines, and quotes, plus personal and game photos and more."
