Vintage Browns: A Warm Look Back at the Cleveland Browns of the 1970s, '80s, '90s and More -- Terry Pluto, Paperback
If you remember the Kardiac Kids ... the Dawgs ... the old Stadium ... Bernie and Marty and Ozzie ... this book is for you!
Like a Classic throwback jersey, it recalls favorite players and exciting moments from Cleveland Browns teams of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more.
They played it old-school.
- Doug Dieken set the NFL record for consecutive starts by a left tackle despite three knee surgeries, broken hands and thumbs, torn tendons, a broken arm and "a concussion or two. Maybe four or six. Hard to know."
- Ozzie Newsome never expected to play tight end when he was drafted, then practically reinvented the position on his way to the Hall of Fame.
- Bernie Kosar carried a massive weight on his young shoulders as a hometown hero leading the Browns during years when the team offered a ray of hope to a downtrodden city.
- Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack together formed one powerhouse backfield and separately dealt admirably with adversity.
- Phil Dawson discovered that despite popularity and longevity, "Every kick could be your last."
Also includes:
- Gregg Pruitt
- Brian Sipe
- Marty Schottenheimer
- Reggie Langhorne
- Brian Brennan
- Bill Belichick
- Tim Couch
- Phil Dawson
- and others
These insightful short profiles will entertain Browns fans of any vintage!
