As the subtitle of The
Golden Gladiator by Michael Lynch aptly suggests, this memoir is the true
story of the oldest American Football player's return to the gridiron and
glory. The story follows sixty-eight-year old retiree, Michael Lynch, who
returns to play Football after many years. Seeing his nephew play in in a high
School All-Star game on Long Island in 2012, Michael's passion for the game begins
to haunt him and he is buoyed up by the desire to rekindle that passion and
experience the thrill of playing a sport he once enjoyed in the 60s and 70s. When
he returns to the pitch, will he recover the spirit he once had, playing in
high school, college, and semi-professionally? This memoir documents his
incredible journey with Southwest Florida Gladiators as they go on to win the
Florida Football Alliance Championship in 2015 and 2018.
The Golden Gladiator
is the spellbinding tale of the oldest American Football player, and it is

engaging and inspiring, the author allows his lifelong passion for the game to
shine through these pages, offering wonderful lessons on courage, the human
spirit, teamwork, self-transcendence, grit, and the perseverance that leads to
success and personal transformation. Football buffs will not want to miss this mesmerizing
story. The author writes in beautiful prose and while he describes his journey
in a voice that is irresistible, he narrates episodes that are filled with
humor, informing readers about the ins and outs of Football while introducing a
cast of fully drawn, likeable characters.
The Golden Gladiator by
Michael Lynch is a beautiful story that is intelligently written, one that will
move readers to beat the odds and do the one thing they have always wanted to
do and been held back by fear and self-limiting beliefs.
