Super Bowl I Personalities, -Available for Interviews: Print & Broadcast
Miami Beach—The recently published and highly praised When it was Just a Game chronicles through oral history the first Super Bowl that took place January 15, 1967. It tells the fascinating story of the ground breaking and now almost mythic AFL-NFL World Championship football game between the Green Bay Packers coached by Vince Lombardi and Hank Stram’s Kansas City Chiefs.
The American Football League was founded in 1960 by Lamar Hunt and the members of “The Foolish Club” - owners of the Los Angeles Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Boston Patriots, New York Titans, Hous-ton Oilers, and Dallas Texans. In 1966, the AFL and NFL merged.
The book offers insightful and unique perspectives from people who were the-re: owners, players, families of the coaches, fans and even ballboys. Containing many dramatic anecdotes documenting the fascinating narrative of that first cham-pionship season and game, the book presents the back story and front story in the words of those who lived it and saw it up close and personal.
Dr Frommer has arranged for some key contributors in his book to be inter-viewed prior to Super Bowl 50. Lamar Hunt, Jr. son of AFL founder and current co-owner of the Chiefs, Dale Stram, son of Chief’s Coach Hank Stram, L.W. McNutt, Chiefs ballboy, Sharon Hunt, the only daughter of Lamar Hunt, are among the projected interviewees.
