Subjects: Football players, Biography, Gay athletes

Description: **"I was the typical jock. I loved playing football. I was tough, I was successful. And all the time I knew I preferred sex with men."** The ten-year veteran running-back of the Forty-Niners, Lions, Redskins, Saints and Packers created a nationwide sensation when he revealed his homosexuality. Much more than a football hero's story, much more than a sensational self-exposé, this is the unsparingly honest and moving account for one man's search for sexual identity. "Known for his all out play on the field, Kopay displays no less guts and fortitude in his new role for sexual - nay, human - freedom."- Kirkus Reviews "A dazzling and wonderful book." - Merle Miller, author of Plain Speaking and On Being Different
