Background[]
- Retired Steeler
- Running back
- Veteran and served in Veit Nam and got injured in combat, yet made a recovery and played in the NFL.
- Guest on TAE's Veterans Day Special in 2003. While Pittsburgh sports fans revere him to this day for his exploits as a running back with the Super Bowl Steelers of the 1970s, his Vietnam experience is just as big a part of his life story, as it was the subject of his autobiography, "Fighting Back", and the 1980 TV movie of the same name.
