Annotation:
Meticulously researched, well crafted, and written with obvious care, this biography of football icon Walton Payton is as thorough and definitive as fans could wish for, and critics of the contradictory superstar will find an even-handed approach to Payton's flaws. The author interviewed hundreds of sources, and unlike some sports bios, this one really does deal with his subject's life before and after his professional career, from his Mississippi childhood to his death from illness at the age of 45. He wasn't the biggest or brawniest NFL star, but in the 13 years he spent as a pro he set records in both rushing and all-purpose yards, and the author has reflected both the human and professional legacy left by this memorable athlete.
