North Dallas Forty

New York Times Bestseller: The â€œpowerful novelâ€ about the hidden side of pro football, written by a former NFL player (Newsweek).
Â
On the field, the men who play football are gladiators, titans, and every other kind of clichÃ©. But when they leave the locker room they are only men. Peter Gentâ€™s classic novel looks at the seedy underbelly of the pro game, chronicling eight days in the life of Phil Elliott, an aging receiver for the Texas team. Running on a mixture of painkillers and cortisone as he tries to keep his fading legs strong, Elliott tries to get every ounce of pleasure out of his last days of glory, living the life of sex, drugs, and football.
Â
Adapted for the screen in 1979, this novel, written by ex-Dallas Cowboy Peter Gent, is widely considered the best football novel of all time.
