I Am Third: The Inspiration for Brian's Song

by Gale Sayers, Al Silverman · 1970

+ Want to read

I Am Third is - in his own words - the moving account of Gale Sayers's struggle to football greatness. It is the story of his family, of the crippling knee injury that almost destroyed his career, but most of all, I Am Third, is the story of Gale's short but unforgettable friendship with Brian Piccolo.
