Overview

Chronicling what can arguably be called the most productive years in New York Giants football—with nine playoff appearances and two Super Bowl titles—this work is an insiders-account of the last 20 years of the team’s history. A behind-the-scenes look at the era from the players’ and coaches’ perspectives, this guide highlights coaches Dan Reeves, Jim Fassel, and Tom Coughlin as well as the team’s brightest stars, from Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, and Michael Strahan to Eli Manning and Victor Cruz. From the locker room to the press box, this book covers all of the successes and failures, elation and embarrassment of recent Giants history, making it essential reading for any fan.
