“The authors selection of players is impressive: showcasing many colorful personalities and mavericks that were part of the shining eras of the fabulous 50’s, glorious 60’s, and the party-loving 70’s.”

Unknown author Danny Jones has dedicated most of his life, over 50 years, preserving the legacies and memories of 101 all-time legendary NFL players from the past. His books focus on Pro Football’s unsung heroes of yesteryear. These forgotten stars had the talent and credentials to be in the Hall of Fame- but are not. They were outstanding athletes who for whatever reasons were overlooked and slipped through the cracks of immortality. Many of these forefathers were pioneers and trailblazers from the memorable decades of the past. The author’s selection of players is impressive: showcasing many colorful personalities and mavericks that were part of the shining eras of the fabulous 50’s, glorious 60’s, and party-loving 70’s.

The 101 icons in these books were the biggest gate attractions in Pro Football along with the Hall of Famers. Jones has examined and provided an in-depth, up-close, and a detailed look at their accomplishments, game and season statistics, and longest touchdowns of 40 or more yards. No other football books have this information. These stars could light up the scoreboards like pinball machines at anytime from anywhere on the football field. Most of the legends in these books should be in the Hall of Fame. Some of the players have passed away.

About the Author

Danny Jones had played amateur and semi-pro football for 12 years in the 70’s and 80’s. He was a wide receiver and compiled some outstanding statistics during his illustrious career. Danny caught 302 passes for 5,519 yards and 66 touchdowns. He scored 15 touchdowns of 40 or more yards. Danny wore #19 like his football hero and idol- star receiver Lance Rentzel of the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams. The reason for these books is to give the former NFL stars of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s the long overdue recognition they deserve, so they can be chosen to the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio where they should be. It takes an unknown author like me to help them since nobody else would.
