The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions II
Autor Ray Didinger, Robert Lyonsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 oct 2025
Quarterback Jalen Hurts described the city’s love for the Eagles as “a Philly thing,” and no one understands that better than Didinger, who has followed the team since the 1950s. In Champions II, he brings that history up to date by writing about the Tush Push, Saquon Barkley’s reverse hurdle, and other milestones of the 2024 season.
This new edition includes:
- More than 60 new photographs plus a 16-page color insert.
- Dozens of new player, coach and front-office profiles.
- Tributes to the team's newest Hall of Fame inductees: Eric Allen, Dick Vermeil and Harold Carmichael.
- An expanded chapter on the Eagles–Cowboys rivalry.
- An updated statistics and records section.
The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions II is a must have for any E-A-G-L-E-S fan who wants to relive the Big Game and all the drama that led up to it.
