A book by former Cleveland Browns kicker Don Cockroft, a Hills and Dales resident, about the 1980 Kardiac Kids team should be available in mid August.
Cockroft said the book — “The 1980 Kardiac Kids — Our Untold Story” — was going to press this week.
The book looks at the 1980 Cleveland Browns who earned the nickname Kardiac Kids with an 11-5 record that featured multiple last-second victories. The season ended with a playoff loss to the Oakland Raiders on a play known as Red Right 88. On the pass play, Raiders defensive back Mike Davis intercepted a Brian Sipe pass that sealed the loss for the Browns.
Cockroft has spent four years working on the book, which includes comments and stories about each player on the team. “I don’t think anyone has written a book as comprehensive,” he said.
