The Toe: The Lou Groza Story
“The Hall of Fame was made for people like Lou Groza—the best, and no question about it.” — Don Shula
In this autobiography, Hall of Famer Lou Groza transports the reader back to a golden age of professional football, when tough men played a rough game and loved it.
No one played longer for the Cleveland Browns than the man best known as “The Toe” . . .
For 21 years as a Cleveland Brown, Lou Groza blocked and kicked with unsurpassed brilliance, becoming one of football’s most admired legends. A key member of the Browns dynasty (he played from 1946 to 1967), Groza helped his team win eight championships, including four titles in the All-America Football Conference and four more in the National Football League.
With frankness, humor, and sensitivity, “The Toe” offers a very personal look at the life of an extraordinary athlete.
With a foreword by Jim Tressel.

“He never let us down.” — Jim Brown
“Lou was as good as any kicker who ever played professional football.” — Otto Graham
