Joe Namath (Joseph William Namath) was born on May 31st, 1943 and is currently 82 years old. Joe Namath was born in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA. Namath attended University of Alabama where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in interdisciplinary studies.
Joe Namath is a former professional American football quarterback who also made a lot of waves playing college football in his earlier years. During his playing years, he was one of the best passers of the ball.
While playing in the
American Football League (AFL) he was named MVP twice, won the
Super Bowl and the AFL Championship, and in two seasons he was the league leader in passing yards.
When the NFL merged with the AFL in 1970 he moved to the Jets and continued from where he left off. He played for the
New York Jets for seven years and the last year of his career playing for the
Los Angeles Rams.
Outside of his playing career, he found success in acting as he appeared on stage starring in several movies including
C.C. and Company. He has also acted in many television shows and had an appearance in
The Waverly Wonders a series that aired in 1978.
Given his lighthearted personality, his prowess in the field, his status as a sex symbol, and his fashion sense, he had crossover appeal among children, women, and men. This crossover appeal earned him many endorsement deals over the years.
Joe Namath published
I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow… - his early autobiography - in 1967. It is a work that provides insights into his career and life and how he came to be the youngest quarterback to ever win the
Super Bowl. Written in a conversational style, it tracks his exploits on the pitch and in his personal life, too.
In 2019, Namath published one of his most popular books in
All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters in 2019. The work follows Namath on his quest to win the
Super Bowl in the late 1960s.
Namath made a promise asserting that he would ensure the
New York Jets win the 1969 Super Bowl. They would go on to win the Bowl when they overcame then favorites in the
Baltimore Colts who most pundits believed would win it.
This work showcases how his victory on the pitch made him something of a god of the gridiron, even as his boyish charm, progressive views on race, and rugged looks turned him into a bona fide celebrity.
