Publisher Description
For three decades the Toronto Argonauts were a national joke: a team that not only lost most of the time, but usually did so in embarrassing fashion. The franchise bottomed out in 1981 with just two wins.
But 1981 was not a complete disaster because, even while finding new and more creative ways to lose, the Argos were assembling many of the key components that helped the franchise return to excitement in 1982 and Grey Cup glory in 1983.
Thirty years after that long-awaited triumph, Bouncing Back takes readers on a wild ride through the three eventful and mesmerizing years that culminated in the 1983 Grey Cup, from crushing humiliations through sensational resurgence and finally the ultimate triumph.
Author Paul Woods is a journalist and educator, a lifelong fan of the Argonauts and a dedicated archivist and historian of Canadian football. He worked as a reporter, editor and senior executive for The Canadian Press for 31 years and has also taught journalism at Ryerson University.
