|  | Raiders Forever by John Lombardo
Good guys wear black, or so they say in Oakland about their beloved Raiders. Other teams in the NFL may not agree after suffering the black-and-blues from the men in black. This storied franchise has one of the most colorful histories of all professional sports teams, especially from the late 1960s to the late 1970s. It dominated the NFL, becoming the only team in league history to have 16 consecutive winning seasons. This is a tribute to the Raiders and their glory years, when John Madden prowled the sidelines, Ken Stabler threw the touchdowns, and owner Al Davis stole his team away to Los Angeles for bigger profits (only to return 14 years later!). Chock-full of interviews with former coaches and players, as well as revealing research, this is the ultimate book on Oakland's working-class heroes. -- Not only appeals to hardcore Raiders fans, but to all NFL fans who are fascinated with this renegade team that has rebelled against the league and brutalized opponents -- Interest in football nostalgia has never been higher -- The football equivalent to baseball's boys of summer AUTHOR: John Lombardo
