The history of the Philadelphia Eagles spans multiple championships, many more near-misses and a cast of characters both on and off the field. The passion of the game has flowed through the veins of generations of Philadelphians and this book details the history of the Eagles from a unique fan perspective.
Compiled from over two dozen sources, it features rarely-seen archival and personal photos - including ones from Pete Pihos (Eagles' Hall-of-fame receiver), Upton Bell (son of owner Bert Bell), Ed Mahan (Eagles' first photographer) and fans from across the Delaware Valley. Hall-of-fame football journalist Ray Didinger wrote the foreword.
Brian Michael is a college professor whose love for sports history led him to open Shibe Vintage Sports. Andrew Palagruto was born and raised in South Philadelphia near the sports complex and is Philly-fandom personified. Andrew Weicker operates several digital properties related to Philadelphia sports from his fan cave in Northeast Philly.
