Description

Hall of fame football creator Chuck Heaton looks back at his 47 years covering the Cleveland Browns.

Heaton spent an out of this world five decades covering the Browns―the “old Browns” teams that fans still miss. He reported at the Browns for the Plain Dealer from 1946 to 1993―nearly all of the history of the original Cleveland franchise.

In this series of memoirs, written in a while before his retirement, Heaton reminisces concerning the great players he were given to grasp, like Jim Brown, Otto Graham, and Leroy Kelly; masterful head coach Paul Brown; colorful characters like equipment manager Morrie Kono; even notorious Browns rivals like Oilers’ coach Jerry Glanville and Steelers’ owner Art Rooney. He recalls the relaxed atmosphere of training camp at Hiram College, and shares tales of life at the road with the team (including some memorably bad hotels).

If you’re a Browns fans who remembers the old teams, you’ll fondly recall the glory days in these outdated, personal stories. In the event you’re a younger Browns fan, you’ll find out why everyone still longs for them.
