Reviews
- “Akin to Groza sitting down and telling stories around the campfire. And during his 21 years as a Cleveland Brown, Groza acquired many great stories to tell . . . not only is a wonderful chance for those who were around when Groza played to reflect fondly on those times, but it also is an excellent opportunity for any fan of the game to learn more about the formative years of the sport.” — Maple Heights Press
- “A great read for Browns fans, buckeye fans and football fans in general.
It's a great look at the greatest dynasty in NFL history . . . As the current Browns team struggles, it is helpful to remember the proud history of this team--and this book does a great job of that.” — clevelandseniors.com
