Viking Adult, 2004. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First edition/printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 512 pp. with index. Illustrated with photos. The first major biography of this authentic football icon, Joe Namath. Born in Beaver Falls in steel country Pennsylvania to a Hungarian immigrant, Namath attended the University of Alabama and played for legendary coach Bear Bryant. Upon graduation, he signed a then-record $427,000 contract to play for the AFL's New York Jets. When the Jets defeated the NFL's Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, Namath, and his high-life living style, became the personification of the modern athlete.

Sinopsis

In between Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan there was Joe Namath, one of the few sports heroes to transcend the game he played. Novelist and former sports-columnist Mark Kriegel’s bestselling biography of the iconic quarterback details his journey from steel-town pool halls to the upper reaches of American celebrity—and beyond. The first of his kind, Namath enabled a nation to see sports as show biz. For an entire generation he became a spectacle of booze and broads, a guy who made bachelorhood seem an almost sacred calling, but it was his audacious “guarantee” of victory in Super Bowl III that ensured his legend. This unforgettable portrait brings readers from the gridiron to the go-go nightclubs as Kriegel uncovers the truth behind Broadway Joe and why his legend has meant so much to so many.
