A great look inside

This was a great look inside the locker room of the Chargers in the glory days, it is filled with lots of stories and laughs. If you are a fan of the glory days of the past this is the book for you. If you are a fan of the glory days that are comming this is the book for you.

Pleased Charger Fan

I bought this book for my son-in-law for Christmas, and he loved it! He couldn't put it down when it was time to sit down for breakfast.

Super Chargers

If you grew up watching Air Coryell then you will love this book. It gives you a behind the scenes look at the San Diego Chargers as they made the transition from a good AFL team to the NFL's most exciting team, in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Charger fans won't want to put the book down.

A lively compendium of stories sports fans will relish.

This could've been featured in our California review section, but there are many fans of the San Diego Chargers, so it's featured here as a major sports book recommendation. Sid Brooks was hired as the equipment manager of the San Diego Chargers in 1973 after 20 years in the air force: he was the first Afro-American to hold that post in NFL history, and was a pioneer. His memoir of the San Diego Chargers' inside sessions captures the team's players, associations, and memories of legendary players over the decades, and makes for a lively compendium of stories sports fans will relish.

Now that was Funny!

This book is barrels of laughs. Admittedly I'm a bit biased since I experienced some of this nevertheless it was hilarious. Many Pro Football books center on turning over what's wrong with the game. This Sid Brooks masterpiece focused on what has to be one of the most fun-loving lockerrooms in the NFL. I remembered how much fun football was as a kid but this book reminded me of those times even in the Pro ranks as a SD Charger. Man what was I missing by not playing "bones"?
