Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Starting with the team’s inaugural kickoff, this comprehensive guide offers a detailed history of the very 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 sucess 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.

User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A fantastic book on the early Buffalo Bills
Rockin the Rockpile is a fantastic piece of work covering the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League, 1960-1969. Author Jeff Miller has packed it all in here, game summaries, oral histories, and a fantastic narrative that leads the reader through the formation of the AFL in 1959, and the following 10 seasons. Great detail in the game summaries/recaps, and wonderful insight into the inner-workings of the team from the players themselves. Rockin the Rockpile is a must-read for AFL fans, regardless of what team they call their own.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent book!
Great book with amazing information and very well written. Extremely interesting to read and just be able to open it to any page and read some very unique information.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Bills Memories are so precious
Great to remember those years at War Memorial. Could almost taste the Genesee long necks. Enjoyed the recaps of each and every game. Would have liked to see more pictures of the stadium itself however.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Rockin' The Rockpile
Incredibly detailed book, evoking fond memories of a football era gone by. A must for all football fans, especially AFL/Buffalo Bills fans.


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - AFL Forever
As one of the worlds biggest Buffalo Sports Memorabilia Collectors I was very excited to see this book come out. While filled with great stories and tales of the old AFL and a veritable who's who of old Bills interviews I was disappointed to find very little in terms of memorabilia (programs, ticket stubs, pennants, bobble heads, gum cards, jerseys, helmets etc. etc.) displayed. I think a colour center spread of all the old items mentioned above would have added to this book tremendously. Also, for a book that centered on War Memorial Stadium (The Rockpile), there's only one aerial picture of it. Some different views of that great old place would have been nice. Still the book is a great addition to a Bills fans collection and a very worthy effort. To the author: Please contact me if you decide to do another book on the Bills or even the Sabres, Braves or Bisons for that matter as my entire collection would be at your disposal. John B.
