This day in #SteelersHistory 2017 was a sad day for #SteelersNation and the #NFL when Dan Rooney passed away. Ambassador Rooney was always supportive of #SteelerNationUK and this is my favourite #Steelers photo taken when we met Croke Park 1997 #SNUProud

@Lastofus2090 Think you may have missed it 😂 We have a new one.

@MarkMaddenX And the Allied forces.

Only fair as we need transparency with our politicians.

[Just Dave now @justdavenow89]

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1933 the Sun-Telegraph revealed that in the #Steelers first year in the #NFL owner Art Rooney was facing problems recruiting players for his team. The NFL draft wasn't introduced until 1936 with strong encouragement from Bert Bell and Mr. Rooney.

@SteelCurtainRis @Bduq22 And I've always believed it helped them to their Super Bowl victories.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1970 the #Steelers began training in Three Rivers Stadium for the first time. They would remain there for 30 years before moving to the South Side where they train now.

Indeed and we should be proud and appreciative of all who served. Some paid the ultimate price and I volunteer to look after some @CWGC headstones including six who paid the ultimate price on the Normandy beaches. The flowers are not mine I just try to keep the area neat and tidy.

2/2

On this day in 1944 Pittsburgh woke up to hear and read that Allied Forces had landed in Normandy as the beginning of the end of World War 2 in Europe began. 1/2

[Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian @DrHelenFry]

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

@ApricotPopPop @andyjock83 Dear oh dear… a good constituency MP he’ll make then.

[Gordon Dedman @SteelUK]

@Jennyfurfuls You are not wrong. Take real care.

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Two cheeks one arse.

A horrific pair of race baiting bigots.

Nasty Nige has crossed a major line today with his incitement and he should never be forgiven.

Remember today, and remember who he is when he shows us.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1969 the Journal Herald highlighted the huge task #Steelers head coach Chuck Noll faced in turning the team into winners. But he was a coach with such immense vision and ability he would achieve the impossible and build a winning team through the draft.
