Another legendary athlete has passed away.

[imanamerican63]

Franco Harris passed away at the age of 72.

A great football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers in ‘70s.

I was never a Steelers fan, because they were a thorn in my Dallas Cowboys’ side. But a great player and a great human being.

Rest In Peace Franco Harris.

Reported by ESPN.

1. Franco Harris, Lynn Swann and Bradshaw together on the Steelers. Even though I was never a Steeler

fan, they had a great team back in those days.

2. Franco and the Steelers were great back then

but I hated them because I was a rabid Raider fan.
If they had a challenge and play review system back then, the immaculate reception would have been reversed and never happened.
To this day, I've never gotten over it.
But history is history, and I honor all the great players from that golden decade of the 70's.

3. Oh no, the Steelers are planning a special event at the game for the 50th anniversary of the

Immaculate Reception.

4. I've had the pleasure of meeting him

a few times over the years, great person.

He was to have his number retired Saturday and the Steelers were wearing their throwback jerseys in honor of the Immaculate Reception.

It really is a sad day in Pittsburgh.

6. .

As a lifelong Browns fan, no team or fan base despised the Steelers more than we did. But this comes as a shock and it's a sad day for sure.

It's the Steelers home station in Pittsburgh. When my aunt was alive, I would watch the games. when I came home on breaks from Penn State. Franco was our favorite.
RIP Franco.

8. I grew up watching him and the Steelers.

A great team that beat every team mostly with ease.
