Fun read. Joe's autobiography was written a few months after the Jets stunning Super Bowl III victory over the Colts. I originally read this book as a 13 year old in the mid 70s and missed lots of Joe's funny sarcasms and innuendos - they went over my head then. However, this book stuck in my mind over the years and I found a copy recently in a used bookstore. All my fellow readers know the pure joy of finding a book from our youth to read again!! The book, while very enjoyable to read again, has not aged well. Pure entertainment to me though.

Years ago, I had an editor who used to hold old up this tabloid, a fairly trashy newspaper, and say “ it’s not a great paper but it knows exactly what it wants to be and does it really well. This wasn’t a great book but it accomplishes what it sets out to do. It’s like reading something that was shoved in a time capsule 50 plus years ago. A quick interesting lead, and one of the best book titles ever.

In 1966 I was just getting old enough to like football. There was a game on TV and I asked 'Hey Dad, who is the guy with the white shoes?' After that, Joe & the Jets were my favorite AFL team, you were allowed to have 2 in those days as the leagues were separate. My Mom loved Joe too. When this book came out she got it from the library for us.

It's a surface treatment of the day. Amusing in a few spots. Am looking forward to the current bio out on him.

Perhaps our first rockstar athlete. Maybe that hasn't been an entirely good trend. In any case, Namath was more fun than most of our superstars have been--while also being excellent at his job. I read this book when it first came out. What was impressed upon my young mind? I remember Namath, still in his twenties, reflecting on the good times of his past. What did he enjoy most? Driving around with his friend in a car without any doors. A good lesson. For that reason if nothing else, I'm giving this celebrity autobiography four stars.

I'm a big JETS fan, and this book took me back in time. I felt like I was there.
