Book Reviews of Pittsburgh Steelers Glory Days
Book Review: The Steelers Great Games
Summary: 5 Stars
Last year yielded a healthy harvest of books about the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dale Grdnic's book, "Glory Days," is one of them.
Dale features the top 20 Steelers' games, beginning in the seventies, when they became one of the top franchises in the league, and covers all the great games including that special 2005 Super Bowl run.
Readers are offered superb stories about the Pittsburgh Steelers' players and coaches who took part in many of the greatest and most celebrated victories in the Steelers' legendary history, woven around the fans' personal touches.
Among the games covered is Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception." Now recognised as the top American sporting moment when the "Same Old Steelers" shrugged off their losers' coats and proudly took their black and gold to the AFC Championship Game for the first time.
Franco's miraculous catch, from a Terry Bradshaw pass, snatched a last minute victory from their archrivals the Oakland Raiders with just seconds left on the clock. The Steelers' owner, Art Rooney, missed his teams' triumph; he was making his way to the locker room to commiserate with his players when they achieved their victory.
Among other games reviewed are Bill Cowher's first victory as the Steelers head coach in 1992 and Ben Roethlisberger's first win as a starting quarterback in Miami after Hurricane Jeanne.
Terry Bradshaw's last game, at Shea Stadium, is also featured in the book. Bradshaw was injured and Dale felt it was significant because until that game, the Steelers believed they would get several more great years out of Bradshaw.
A super book that brings back to life those magical Steelers' moments for all football fans to share and enjoy.
