JetsFanatic Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 How shocking and sad! Two days short of 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception. The Steelers were going to retire his number this weekend. I still remember watching that game with my brother the day before Christmas Eve. It was such an unbelievable play.

Big Snell Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Wow. I ran a meat department for Pathmark in the 90's in southwest NJ. Franco had bought Parks Sausage around 95'. Every year he would "tour" the area and visit the stores to see how the product was selling. The cool thing was that when he came he would wear a different Super Bowl ring every visit, so that was an incredible honor to shake his hand. He was a lot smaller in real life than I imagined he would be , but what a kind and soft spoken gentleman he was. I'm glad I met him. May he rest in peace. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I looked into it lol. only 3 numbers are officially retired, Harris joins Ernie Stautner (No. 70) and Joe Greene (No. 75) as the only players to have their numbers retired by the Steelers. Although many are unofficial retired There may have been bad blood, there was a contract dispute and he left Pittsburgh only being 400 yards short of Jim brown’s record and never broke it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 RIP. One of the first superstars that I remember watching as a kid. Those first couple of Steeler SB teams were really built around Franco and the defense. Team needed a big play, Franco was always there. 72 is too young. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP I remember being 10 years old, in my grandmothers TV room by myself. Watching the "immaculate" game. It really for me is my earliest vivid memory of GREAT football. Raiders/Steelers, Madden etc. I am saddened to learn PITT didn't retire his jersey immediately after he retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
