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.

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.
