Product Review
"It's all in there . . . Miller has it down in black and white. . . . Adding to it all are dozens of Smith's Hall-of-Fame-worthy photos . . . the pictures alone are worth the purchase price." —The Buffalo News
"A remarkable feat, providing an exhaustive history of the AFL era. Readers will find the best retelling of the dramatic build-up to the '64 and '65 championships here. There's even a year-by-year breakdown of action on the field and a 'Where are they now' section, not to mention dozens of classic images from every game of the era." —Sports & Leisure Magazine
"You don’t have to be a Buffalo Bills fan to enjoy this book." —The State
"Miller does a masterful job of going beyond the numbers to tell a very insightful story of the people who made the AFLE Buffalo Bills . . . a great read for Bills fans, and sports fans in general." —Polish American Journal
Product Description
Starting with the team’s inaugural kickoff, this comprehensive guide offers a detailed history of the first 10 years of the Buffalo Bills football franchise. Founded in 1960 by Ralph Wilson, who still owns the team today, the Bills were one of the original members of the now-defunct American Football League. More than 100 photos—some never before made public and many taken by the team’s official photographer, Robert Smith—display the excitement and success of the Bills’ opening seasons. Complete game summaries from each year along with excerpts from interviews with players, coaches, and managers round out this must-have reference for any die-hard football fanatic.
