Tales from the Chargers Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest

Tales from the Chargers Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest Chargers Stories Ever Told

During his twenty-seven-year tenure with the Chargers, beloved equipment manager Sid Brooks kept more than 5,000 football players from appearing naked before their cheering fans. The first African American to hold the job of equipment manager in the NFL, Brooks was tasked with seeing that each player left the locker room in uniform. But the means to that end was far more complicatedâ€”and outrageousâ€”than one would believe.

In Tales from the Chargers Sideline, Sid recounts stories unique to a life spent working behind the scenes in the Chargers locker room. He features stories about Chargers greats like Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, Kellen Winslow, Louie Kelcher, John Jefferson, Rodney Harrison, and Junior Seau. With an eye for detail, he recounts tales of spies sent out to capture the opposing teamâ€™s playbooks; the night the lights went out on Don Shula; wild cab rides; the zany pregame rituals and idiosyncrasies; rivalries born not on the playing field, but at the dominoes table; and plenty of pranks and good-natured ribbing.

Brimming with hilarity, insight, and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, Tales from the Chargers Sideline is a must-read for every Chargers devotee.
