Book Overview
In 1920, the University of Texas Longhorns ate their mascot at a postseason banquet. In 1940, Turk Edwards of the Washington Redskins suffered a career-ending knee injury during the pre-game coin toss. In 1969, Clive Rush was nearly electrocuted while being introduced as the new coach of the Boston Patriots. During the 1893 Army-Navy game, a general punched a heckling admiral and challenged him to a duel, which resulted in President Grover Cleveland suspending the game for six years. Football's Most Wanted(TM) features the worst players, the most inept teams, the strangest plays, the most bizarre nicknames, the most fantastic finishes, the dirtiest players, the oddest injures, the greatest upsets, and the most boneheaded calls in both professional and college football. Many of these 700 anecdotes, arranged in 70 top-ten lists, are published here for the first time.

Great Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was terrific. This same publisher also has "Baseball's Most Wanted 1 and 2 and World Series Most Wanted". These are terrific books. If you love baseball and football as much as I do, then you wont regret purchasing any of the titles I listed above. You can buy them used and they still look great. Check out Thrift Books or Motor City Books. I do a lot of ordering from them and I have never been disappointed with their service. They sell used books for a great prices and the books look terrific when they arrive.
What Fun!

If you are a trivia freak, or a football widow, you'll love this book. Full of weird annecdotes about the game and it's players, it will have you laughing by the hour. And for those football widows - this one will give you something to talk to your spouse about when the game is in commercial!
