Great Players in Notre Dame Football: The best players of any football program in the nation

The book is written for those of us who love Notre Dame Football and all the outstanding players we have watched perform over the years. Since we cover ND football from the first game in 1887, there surely are some great players highlighted in this book which none of us know. The book first tells the story about how college football began and then on to the first American football game in 1867. From there, the progression leads, to Notre Dame’s first football team and its first game in 1887, then to the first Notre Dame team with a coach in 1894. Moving through the years we cover the team of players who served the great immortal Notre Dame coaches– Rockne, Leahy, Parseghian, Devine, and Holtz, to the current season with Coach Brian Kelly. The emphasis within this book is the players and we take time our regularly to report on great games in which those great players excelled. You’re going to love it.

It takes the reader through introductions for Notre Dame’s 31 coaches but concentrates on the great players who played like champions today and in days gone by.
