Year of the Rocket : John Candy, Wayne Gretzky, a crooked tycoon and the craziest season in football history / Paul Woods.

Summary:

The century-old Toronto Argonauts, like the rest of The Canadian Football League, seemed to be in shambles in 1991. But everything changed when The Argos were acquired by an unlikely trio. 'Year of the Rocket' is the untold saga of one of the greatest gambles in sports history, and one of the most unforgettable seasons on any gridiron, brought to life by a veteran sportswriter who combines meticulous research with the perspective and passion of a lifelong fan. Paul Woods lives in Toronto, ON.
