Pigskin Books Review of How Football Became Football

Shane Richmond of Pigskin Books recently reviewed How Football Became Football, my tome on the history of the game. Shane’s site covers the range of football books and helps readers find those about their favorite teams, coaches, time periods, or other themes.

Here’s one of his comments about How Football Became Football.

Brown, who has written four books and is a regular on football history podcasts, earned a reputation for meticulous research and deep curiosity. With its wide-angle view and fine-grain detail, How Football Became Football is a rare kind of football book – sweeping in scope but precise in focus. It’s a smart, approachable read for fans who want to understand not just what changed in football history, but why.

You can find the full review here. If you have not already read the book, check out the review and decide whether you can live another day without acquiring a copy.

Thanks, Shane, for the beautifully written review.
