BIOGRAPHY COMMITTEE

Chairs: Greg Tranter

Members: Lee Elder, Matt Keddie and Jeffrey MIller

The PFRA launched the “Biography Project” in 2020. The intention of the project is to engage PFRA members to write biographies of former professional football players, head coaches, owners, founders, or commissioners from the pre-NFL, AAFC, and AFL/NFL.

We encourage members to write biographies on any players, head coaches, owners, founders, or commissioners from any pre-NFL, AAFC, and AFL/NFL teams they are interested to do.

The PFRA website stores and displays the biographies for members to utilize in their research or just for their pleasure. The project aligns well with the mission of the PFRA to continue to capture and disseminate the history of professional football.

The project will be overseen by a small Biography Committee that is led by Committee Chair Greg Tranter.

We have developed guidelines for the biographies so there is some degree of consistency across all of them. See Authors’ Guidelines for PFRA Biography Project below. We will also utilize the PFRA Publications Author Guidelines (which are below) to guide our work.

We are excited that we have well over 600 biographies written, but many more to do and we encourage all members to participate. This is an ongoing project.

If you are interested in writing a biography on any player, head coach, owner, founder or commissioner from the AFL/NFL or the AAFC please contact Greg Tranter.
