About The Book

Written by acclaimed sports author and oral historian Harvey Frommer and with an introduction by pro football Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, When It Was Just a Game tells the fascinating story of the ground-breaking AFL–NFL World Championship Football game played on January 15, 1967: Packers vs. Chiefs. Filled with new insights, containing commentary from the recently discovered unpublished memoir of Kansas City Chiefs coach Hank Stram, and featuring oral history from many who were at the game—media, players, coaches, fans—the book presents back story and front story in the words of those who lived it and saw it go on to become the Super Bowl, the greatest sports attraction the world has ever known. Archival photographs and drawings help bring the event to life.

In this detailed oral and narrative history, author Harvey Frommer dramatically creates a narrative arc that brings back the time.

– Frank Gifford, NFL Hall of Famer

Harvey Frommer is one of the most intelligent and informed observers of sports on the American scene. It is always a pleasure to read his work.

– Roger Kahn

Read it from cover to cover. It's a masterpiece. Vince Lombardi would have loved this book. ‘It's a winner,’ he would have proclaimed. You'll love it, too. Harvey Frommer, through the voices of the participants and significant others, tells a rollicking adventure of the very first Super Bowl. The material is fresh and fascinating. I couldn't put it down.

– Peter Golenbock, author of Landry's Boys and The Bronx Zoo
