One of the greatest quarterbacks ever, Joe Namath, narrates his own work, and he’s perfect for the dual role of storyteller and narrator. Namath describes his life—growing up in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania; his relationship with the legendary Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama; and his high-profile role with the New York Jets on the field and off. He narrates with an energetic tone; he’s not just reading a script, he’s emphasizing high points along the way. You can hear him chuckling at some points, becoming serious at others. Instead of a chronological approach, he tells his stories—fun anecdotes and serious moments—while he watches the classic 1969 Super Bowl. His voice has joie de vivre, and that’s a pleasure to listen to. M.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
From the Publisher
"Even casual sports fans will find this an enthralling read. For all his flaws - and the author does not hide them - Namath is a likable and lively raconteur. What's more, his is a remarkable life. He not only beat the Colts, he whooped alcoholism, evolved into a doting grandfather and endures the many side affects of gridiron fame with nary a complaint."—USA Today
"So here we have it: a reflective football icon-76 years old, incredibly-and an elder statesman...he tells a good yarn, guaranteed."—The Wall Street Journal
"As exciting as it is personal."—247Sports
"I have read everything about Namath for years....But this new book is different, better than all of the ones before it in a sense. All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters is told in Namath's words. And those words are powerful and instructive.—Ron Cook, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A pleasure for fans who remember way back to Namath's glory days-and an entertainment for those who are new to the gridiron hero."—Kirkus
"Namath is refreshingly candid throughout...[his] razor-sharp recollections bring a bygone era of football to vivid life in this illuminating volume."—Publishers Weekly
