Frank Gifford

Frank Gifford (Francis Newton Gifford) was born on August 16th, 1930. Frank passed away August 9th, 2015 at 84 years old. Frank Gifford was born in Santa Monica, California, USA. Gifford attended the University of Southern California.

Frank Gifford was best known as an American professional football player, sports commentator on TV, and later on an actor.

Before he made it big as the No. 1 draft choice for the New York Giants in 1952, he made a name for himself in high school and college where he achieved unusual success in the gridiron. During his earlier years, he played both defense and offense and as a senior in college, he won All-America honors.

At the New York Giants, it took less than a week before Steve Owen the coach realized he had one of the best players on his roster. Gifford could return kicks and punts, play defensive back, catch, run, and pass like no one else on the team.

In 1956, he was named Most Valuable Player in the National Football League as he led the New York Giants to the championship. He also made the list of the All-NFL team several times before a head injury he suffered in 1960 forced him to retire from the gridiron.

Thereafter, Gifford started working with CBS Sports. In 1971, he became part of the cast on Monday Night Football on ABC alongside Don Meredith and Howard Cosell, where he worked until 1998. In 1977, he won the Outstanding Sports Personality Emmy Award.

In addition to playing football and working as a commentator, he has also been cast in many films. Some of the films where he has acted include Jerry Maguire, Paper Lion, Two Minute Warning, and Disney’s The World’s Greatest Athlete.

In 1976, Gifford released his first title, Gifford on Courage. The work is all about ten extraordinary men who fought some extraordinary battle off and on the playing field just like Gifford.

The Whole Ten Yards is a memoir that Frank Gifford published in 1993. The work looks back on more than four decades of celebrity and football with gratitude and awe.

In 2008 Frank released The Glory Game. In the work, Gifford looks back on the legendary matchup between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts.
