This book is about the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers owner and his contributions to the team and to the NFL. This book gives you the inside story of the Irish-American upbring of Mr. Rooney and his family. It also helps you to understand how Mr. Rooney can come from a powerful family and be the owner of the most popular team in the NFL, if not the United States and still be an downright friendly blue collar peron. A great read not just for just Steeler fans but for all fans of football. Go Steelers!
In my opinion, this book is intended for two groups of people: 1) those who are from Western Pennsylvania, and particularly, Pittsburgh, and 2) those who are true fans of football and its history. There is significant local content that people who are not familiar with Western PA may not appreciate, but the book does delve into the history of the sport, and some very interesting facts about the early years of the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
This book was a present for my father, not me. I heard that this book was something he would have liked, that's why I bought it. I like giving people what they like. Ebay offers so many good gift ideas to choose from and I appreciate that. I hope ebay will keep up the good work for years to come.
Title tells it all! Go STEELERS!

Over all this is a good solid read and a must for a die-hard Steelers fan. I learned alot and enjoyed. Worth my time and money.
