Philadelphia Eagles: Where Have You Gone? takes an informative stroll
down memory lane with the Philadelphia Eagles of yesteryear, helping
fans who are wondering where the time has gone. Local icons such as
Chuck Bednarik, Tom Brookshier, and Ron Jaworski have remained in the
spotlight years after their playing days ended. But this book tells fans
about what happened to players like Pete Liske, Leroy Keyes, Super Bill
Bradley, and other favorites who have made being an Eagles fan in
Philadelphia so much fun.
The book goes beyond the helmet and shoulder pads and takes a look at
the human side of these former guardians of the gridiron. From Norm Van
Brocklin to Jeff Kemp, Wilbert Montgomery to Cyril Pinder, Jim Skaggs to
Guy Morriss, and Don Hultz to Tim Rossovich, the book looks not only at
the playing careers of many former Birds, but also at their lives after
their playing days ended. Many former players have stayed in the game at
some level and enjoyed coaching. Many fans, however, do not know which
former Eagles player later became an NFL official, which former
defensive standout became a salmon fisherman, which wide receiver became
a respected judge, or which player now operates hospital-based centers
treating sleep apnea. This reissue of Philadelphia Eagles: Where Have
You Gone?, first published in 2004, reveals all this and more,
providing fans with a look into the past while also bringing them
up-to-date with some of Philadelphia's greats.
