Super Chiefs: Stories from the Kansas City Chiefs Glory Days - 2nd Edition

By Mark Stallard

The Kansas City Chiefs of the 1960s were talented, tough, innovative-and unforgettable.

They were also one of the most important teams in professional football history.

In Super Chiefs: Stories from the Kansas City Chiefs Glory Days, author Mark Stallard brings that remarkable era back to life through the men who built the franchise, challenged the NFL establishment and delivered Kansas City its first Super Bowl championship.

This expanded Second Edition features new stories, additional photographs and fresh material covering the Chiefs' rise from the struggling Dallas Texans to champions of the football world. Drawing upon interviews with the players who lived it, Stallard tells the stories behind Hank Stram's revolutionary offense, one of the greatest defenses ever assembled, the move to Kansas City, the battles with the Oakland Raiders and the unforgettable triumph over Minnesota in Super Bowl IV.

The book goes beyond the famous games and familiar names. It captures the personalities, friendships, tragedies and wonderfully strange moments surrounding a team filled with characters-and eight future Pro Football Hall of Fame players. Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Buck Buchanan, Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Jan Stenerud and their teammates emerge not simply as football legends, but as men who helped transform a franchise, a city and an entire sport.

The glory did not last forever. It never does. But for one extraordinary stretch, the Kansas City Chiefs stood at the center of the football world.

This is their story.
