NFL Books

The Sparrow

Just wondering has anyone read any good American football books? Not training manuals but on the history of American Football or following a team for a season or even biographies or auto-biographies. I`m going on holiday in a few weeks and would like to have a good book to read to get me in the mood for the new season. I`m a Steelers fan so I would be especially interested in them but really any good book about the NFL would do.

I have already read:

Friday Night Lights
http://www.amazon.com/Friday-Night-Lights-Town-Dream/dp/B000P2XNL6/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-7079253-2808864?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186503247&sr=8-2

and America's Game

Both of them are excellent btw if anyone is looking for a good read. So any suggestions of other good NFL books?

One Knee Equals Two Feet by John Madden.

Lawrence Taylor's autobiography's pretty good.

Invincable is prettly good. Not sure of the author, but it's the life story of Vince Papale

And what honest NFL fan's life is complete without Terrell Owens' autobio? Even if you hate him

If you're based in Dublin, you can borrow a copy of this from the Dublin public library system:

They have a few other American Football books, but I think they all date from the mid to late 1980s when American Football was at its peak over here.
