Football Books – Belichick Collection 1
A year or two ago, I read an article in SI about the Belichick Collection of great football books in the U.S. Naval Academy’s football building’s lounge. Football books from the 1891 to present. Belichick’s dad was a coach at the Naval Academy and Bill Belichick was raised on Navy football. He used to play catch with Roger Stauback as a boy. This is why the Naval Academy is the lucky librarians of the Belichick library of football books.
Since I love reading old football coaching books, I called the Naval Academy and ask for the complete list of books. They were kind enough to send the list. I thought I would share the list with you too. Here are the first 50 football books from the collection. If I found the book in a Google search I linked the book title to the seller. Enjoy.
