Synopsis

An authoritative 100-year history of America's National Football League from its founding.

The NFL has become the most lucrative sports league in the world, yet it has not always been a roaring success story. It is a rocky road filled with detours and wrong turns; with heroes and villains; and, most importantly, with thousands of games. Any Given Sunday recounts twenty of the biggest of those, starting with the first contest ever played in 1920 and working through to key fixtures in the recent past. Each chapter is complemented by interviews with some of the game's true stars; first-hand accounts from games, including multiple Super Bowls; and, finally, full access to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Matthew Sherry, founder of Gridiron, the UK's only NFL magazine, takes readers from the boardroom to the field, into the locker-room and inside the journeys of legends, providing a full snapshot of the NFL's epic first century.

Goodreads review by Jonny

A really well written book about various different periods in NFL history from its founding to the 2020 season, and how it went from a group of guys in a car dealership to the most profitable sports league in the world.......more

A fun informative football book. I really enjoyed this book! Especially the narrative on each game that paused the game, then gave backstory about the teams and league, before picking up,the game again. Fun read, I definitely recommend.......more

Goodreads review by Sam

Great job, this. A clever concept to move through the years of the NFL (even if the chapter on SB LVII was grim reading as a Pats fan!) Lots of coverage of the highlights, lots of stuff I didn't know, and incredibly readable.......more
