Pat Toomay – On Any Given Sunday – First Edition 1984
£85.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘On Any Given Sunday’ published by Donald I. Fine, INC in 1984. A near fine book (some spotting to the top edge and and page block) in like unclipped wrapper. Rubbing to the edges and corners.
Pat Toomay, a former NFL defensive end, is best known for his candid insider perspective on professional football. After a decade-long career with teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders, he turned to writing. His semi-autobiographical novel ‘On Any Given Sunday’ (1984) exposes the physical toll, psychological strain, and behind-the-scenes politics of the sport. Blending fiction with authenticity, Toomay reveals the darker, unglamorous side of football life. The book later inspired Oliver Stone’s 1999 film ‘Any Given Sunday’, which captured its raw, unfiltered vision of the game and its culture.
