Description

Freddie Steinmark's remarkable story is one of courage and resilience in the face of adversity. In 1969, he played for the University of Texas Longhorns football team despite suffering from a bone tumor that required amputation just days after a thrilling game against Arkansas.

The "Game of the Century" victory was a defining moment for Steinmark, who had quickly become a fan favourite at Texas. His openness about his battle with cancer helped raise awareness and reframe the national conversation around the disease. This book tells the story of Steinmark's life, from his humble beginnings to his remarkable achievements on the football field.

With unfettered access to the Steinmark family and archives, this biography offers a unique insight into the life of a legendary figure whose legacy continues to inspire fans today.
