Football is a game of numbers?fourth and inches, the three-man
rush, a two point conversion, first down. Even with the obvious
numbers in the statistics, rules and game situations, the players?
uniform numbers themselves have become part of professional
football and its lore. NFL players, like modern-day gladiators, are
fitted head-to-toe in protective gear, obscuring even their faces
from their most loyal fans. They have become largely identifiable
through their uniform numbers. You cannot conjure up Larry Csonka
without seeing the number 39 crashing through the line of
scrimmage, or recall Lawrence Taylor without imagining the fear his
56 inspired in opposing quarterbacks. This comprehensive reference
work lists all 32 current franchises of the NFL and includes brief
team histories, statistics and interesting facts. Each chapter ends
with an all-time numerical roster listing the numbers 1 through 99
(in some cases beginning with 00) and everyone, from Hall-of-Famer
to replacement player, who has ever worn the corresponding number
for that club. Four appendices are included.
