Tales from the Oakland Raiders Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest Raiders Stories Ever Told

by Tom Flores, Matt Fulks, Jim Plunkett (Foreword)

It’s almost impossible to talk about Oakland football without bringing up the name of the consummate Raider, Tom Flores. Legendary for both his skills on the field and his coaching guidance from the sideline, Flores has been an integral part of the Raiders organization since its inception in 1960. Now Flores shares the greatest stories and anecdotes from his time with the team in Tales from the Oakland Raiders Sideline. Flores relives the heart-stopping thrills and adrenaline-surging passion of Super Bowl XV and Super Bowl XVIII, and provides behind-the-scenes humor from greats such as former coach and owner Al Davis and coach Eddie Erdelatz. Flores also shares tales of other Raiders greats such as Billy Cannon, Jim Otto, John Matuszak, Bo Jackson, and more. Without a doubt this is a must-have for any Raiders fan.

Tom Flores...Insightful stories of a true professional!

I was always a fan of the silver and black. To read their history and get it from the man who did it all was a true pleasure. I feel like I got to know each player better and Tom helps to connect the dots with his modest and straightforward stories.
What a great organization ran by true professionals and men’s men. Wish I was there! By the way, put Tom in the Hall of Fame already.
