“Jim Plunkett-Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Oakland Raiders and the man Howard Cosell called "the story of the year in pro football" —has amassed possibly the most astonishing career in the history of the game. This inspiring autobiog-raphy, illustrated with rare family and team photographs, is the intimate and exclusive record not only of a remarkable athlete, but of a remarkable man. From a shattered childhood —both parents were blind —to the Rose Bowl and a Heisman Trophy, Plunkett set the pattern early for the ups and downs that followed —a cancer scare,NFL Rookie of the Year, then injuries and uneven play that benched him for two seasons—all culminating in the record 80-yard touchdown pass that won Super Bowl 1981. A unique and genuine American hero, Jim Plunkett has come back vic-torious, and this is his story: not of connections or lucky breaks, but of courage and determination and humil-ity, too, in the larger "game of life," which in the end measures a champion by the measure of the man.”
