Minor league football has enjoyed two golden eras--first in the 1930s and 1940s, and later in the 1960s and early 1970s. The latter period began with the formation of the United Football League in 1961 and ended with the demise of the World Football League in 1975. After that, several leagues existed, and in 1983 the United States Football League was formed. Even though it was little competition for the NFL, it signed enough of the top minor league players to put an end to the remaining leagues, and none of comparable quality has emerged since. This work is a compilation of standings, statistics, and rosters for the top minor league football teams from 1960 through 1985. It provides brief histories and season summaries for the United Football League, Atlantic Coast Football League, Southern Football League, North American Football League, Continental Football League, Pro Football League of America, Texas Football League, World Football League, and the United States Football League; the overall players and coaches roster for the period; the overall players and coaches roster for the USFL's three seasons; a list of players who were named to an all-star roster, excluding the USFL; and short sketches of some of the top minor league players.

This narrative history of minor league football teams in Connecticut in the 1960s and 1970s is based on extensive newspaper and periodical research and interviews with nearly 70 former players, broadcasters and journalists. Only a few players--like Marv Hubbard, Lou Piccone and Bob Tucker--made it to the NFL, but many more played for as little as $25 per game in their quest to make it big or just have fun. Wealthy men like Pete Savin and Frank D'Addario owned teams in Hartford and Bridgeport. In the days before cable television saturated the media with live sports, small town fans turned out to support their local heroes, often men who worked on construction crews during the week and stopped by the diner Sunday morning to talk football. Now in their 60s, 70s and 80s, these men share their stories of a simpler era; the good times, like the Hartford Knights' 1968 ACFL championship season, and the long bus rides and missed paydays that were as much a part of minor league ball as first downs and interceptions.
