Anthony L. MarianiSomething else my great Aunt Antsy gave me. She ordered the notebook cover and cut out the player bio articles each week from the Pittsburgh Press. #RipFranco
Robert @ Tech AddressedI don't post much outside of tech but my city is mourning the loss of a legend today ... just days before the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception and the retiring of his number. Franco Harris was the best. #RIPFranco #Steelers

Christian Peranzi@CMyers Iβm a 12 as well but mostly Iβm a lover of great football. Franco Harris certainly provided that. #ripfranco
Trevor - The Vitruvian MeepleI regret never getting the chance to talk to him, even though I was less than 10 feet away. I don't, however, regret the decision not to interrupt his dinner to do so.
Franco was a fixture at Taj Mahal, an #IndianFood restaurant in #Pittsburgh's North Hills. Just a normal guy eating.
Remember him how you want: in uniform, making the Immaculate Reception, whatever. I choose to remember him in a tan sportjacket, with a forkful of tikka masala.
Steelers Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris dies at 72
PITTSBURGH (AP) β Franco Harris, the Hall of Fame running back whose heads-up thinking authored βThe Immaculate Reception,β considered the most iconic play in NFL history, has died. He was 72. Harris' son Dok told The Associated Press his father passed away overnight.
Joe Poe πFranco Harris, Lynn Swann, and the Steelers turned me into a football fan with their win in Superbowl X.
Such a sad loss. RIP Franco. This weekend is the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate reception. It's a shame he won't be there to celebrate. #RIPFranco
