Steeler Fan and Professional Reviews |

Publishers Weekly - The National Football League's fifth all-time leading rusher tells of his journey from growing up on Detroit's mean streets to playing for the 2006 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. As a child, Bettis wore nerdy glasses and preferred bowling. In high school, he began playing football, but also started running with a smalltime neighborhood gang that sold drugs and carried firearms. He credits his escape from crime to his high school coach and his parents for laying down the law as well as the shock of seeing a friend get shot. A highly recruited high school player, he played three years at Notre Dame before turning pro with the Rams (both L.A. and St. Louis). During the latter part of his 13-year career, he had to compete for playing time and deal with a litany of injuries. For his last pro football game, he returned triumphantly to Detroit, which hosted the 2006 Super Bowl. Writing in an easygoing, honest voice, Bettis gives readers a good look at the inside stories of college recruiting, professional contracts and the agony of NFL injuries. He also dishes out opinions on players, calling former Rams quarterback Jim Everett soft as puppy fur and Denver Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski a coward who specialized in cheap shots.

From Booklist - Bettis used natural ability, hard work, and emotional stability to put together an award-winning NFL career that ended in 2006 when his Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl. Bettis was raised on Detroit's mean streets, but thanks to loving parents and a moral compass, he avoided most of the serious missteps common to many in those circumstances. He became a Detroit prep star, earned a scholarship to Notre Dame, and after a successful career there, went on to stardom with the St. Louis Rams and later the Steelers. Bettis' abilities as a player secured one level of stardom, but it's always been his humor and one-of-the-guys demeanor that linked him most closely with fans. Wojciechowski, a senior writer for ESPN and coauthor of, among other books, Rick Majerus' classic memoir, My Life on a Napkin (1999), brings out all Bettis' best qualities in this enjoyable sports autobiography.

Publishers Weekly - The Rooneys are the Steelers in Pittsburgh, home of the championship team whose ferocious, far flung fans call themselves the Steelers Nation. Team manager Rooney, son of the Steelers's colorful founder Art "the Chief" Rooney, tells his life story, one inextricably tangled with the history of the National Football League: "Pro football was born on the muddy fields of Pittsburgh's North Side in 1892-just three blocks from where I was born 40 years later." Moreover, the Steelers themselves were born just a year after Rooney. Managing the team from the early days of television up through the present, Rooney has seen the "most critical issue facing the league" shift from "half-empty stadiums" to "labor relations." Tales of classic games and key figures are bolstered by interviews with legends like "Mean" Joe Greene and winning coach Chuck Noll, as well as current coach Mike Tomlin and others. Thanks to Rooney's own intimate, first-person accounts of legendary players, flamboyant personalities and never-ending politics, along with a concluding thumbnail history of each NFL franchise, this book is sure to score big points not just with the Steeler Nation but football fans nationwide.

The Pittsburgh Steelers rank as one of the NFL's truly legendary franchises, and this book provides readers with unique stories about the players and coaches who took part in many of the greatest and most euphoric victories in the team's history. Among the games covered are Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception" that beat Oakland in the playoffs; the four Super Bowl and AFC Championship Game victories in the glorious decade of the 1970s; and the incredible 2005 playoff run that was capped by the team's fifth Super Bowl title. Among other games reviewed are Bill Cowher's first victory as head coach in 1992, a stunning overtime win against rival Cleveland Browns in 1976 under rookie quarterback Mike Kruzeck, and Ben Roethlisberger's first win as a starting quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Complete Illustrated History documents the great moments in a tradition that stretches back more than seventy-five years and offers an unmatched legacy of success. Fresh on the heels of a sixth Super Bowl victory, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a team steeped in history and accomplishment. The roster of players who have donned the black and gold reads like an all-star team, and the 1970s dynasty alone featured nine players currently enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This book celebrates the players, the teams, the legendary coaches such as Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, and the legions of passionate fans throughout western Pennsylvania and across the nation who cheer the black and gold. Lavishly illustrated with color and black-and-white images from throughout the team's history, Pittsburgh Steelers brings to powerful life the on-and off-field exploits and achievements of this iconic franchise.

socalsteelersfan - One of the best things about Pittsburgh Steelers: The Complete Illustrated History is right at the beginning. In the forward by Dick Hoak it was great to learn of his life as a Steeler, especially the honest account of how he considered quitting the team during training camp. Another great thing is the photography - the central element of the book. Many of the historical color and black and white photos are both rare and spectacular. I also liked the alumni player profiles which cover a wide spectrum of Steelers past and present. There are event profiles covering the Immaculate Reception and all of the Super Bowl victories but not including some key evens from earlier in Steelers history. Missing are profiles for their only appearance in a playoff game before 1972 (Steelers vs. Eagles in 1947) and the 1952 Giants game, considered one of the greatest Steeler game of all time. Despite this one shortcoming, overall the book was a joy to read. The complied photographs, quotes and historical facts make this book worth purchasing.
