Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - An enjoyable window into the past
In reading Bill Curry's book, you not only have the chance to get a glimpse at the football legends he played for and with, you learn a lot about the men they were behind their public personas. Whether he intended it or not, you also learn about Bill Curry. He and they were not gods, but men, and he doesn't make them or himself perfect in the book.

For me, the most moving point in the book is when he learns he has put off setting things straight with his former teammate, Ray Nitschke, too long, when he reads of Nitschke's death. His simple statement, "I am so sorry," says more than paragraphs could.

This book is a great read for any football fan and anyone who wants to learn about leadership and character, both from the men he writes about and from Bill Curry himself.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book for the Sports Fan of Any Age
This is a story about some of football's greats from the the 60s and 70s as well as a book of life lessons learned on and off the field. Well written and attention grabbing, you will not be disappointed no matter which you are looking for.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Entertaining
Nice collection of stories, some funny, some sad, but all leaving a lasting impression on Bill Curry and providing the reader with entertaining reading.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - hard to put down
Hard to put down, and not just because it's well written. If you're old enough to remember the players and coaches in this book, you probably need the wonderfully readable typeface and font seen here. Would that more publishers were as sensitive to boomer eyestrain. Thank you, ESPN Books!

Along with Mark Bowden's "The Best Game Ever", Bill Curry's "Ten Men..." reminds us of an era when football players came from everyday life. Both offer terrific snapshots of Vince Lombardi and John Unitas, and of an era fondly remembered.




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Bill Curry Ten Men
Wonderful book, even for non-football fans. Brought back lots of memories from College Park / Newton Estates days, but has something everyone can enjoy.
