[Joe Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a fan now of the Denver Broncos for more than 42 years I read this book about four times. Many Broncos fans who were too young or not born yet never had the opportunity to enjoy that magical season in 1977. Everything we have as a team is because of what all those guys did back then. The book was just incredible to me and I wish that any true fan of the Denver Broncos would read this to learn about some of the history of our team.

This is the story of the 1977 Broncos and their first trip to the Super Bowl. This book brought back lots of memories of the early days of the Orange Crush and what the Broncos meant to Colorado and the rest of the mountain states that supported them regardless of their record.

While this wasn't the best book I have read on a football team, it was entertaining, informative and the stories from the fans were very good. For fans of the game during this era, it is a good read.
