#Steelers #NFL
9/3/22 I did the Steelers 5k. Coming into the stadium, to cross the finish line, who did I see? Franco Harris!!! OMG! There he was cheering on all the people coming in. I fist bumped him. He took pictures with everyone. Special, special guy. Heaven got a good soul.❤
A great running back & even a better person. Always took time to sign an autograph or stop for a picture. As growing up a Houston Oiler fan, I have nothing but admiration & respect for #32 of the Pittsburgh Steelers!!! Franco will always be remembered for being a class act. RIP Franco and prayers & love for the Steeler fans & family…
I am a 58 year old woman. I was 8 years old when the Immaculate Reception happened and I became an instant fan. Watched them all through the 70's. Best and most exciting team ever! Always loved Franco. One of a kind!!! I lost my Mom this year and Franco. Bad year for me. Cried all week.
Peace to you. ❤️
RIP #32! Steelers Legend!
A true embodiment of a Pittsburgh Steeler, may he rest in peace
ABSOLUTELY!!! You'd struggle to find anyone who ever had a bad thing to say about the man. May he R.I.P. indeed. #32🖤💛
From a Kansas City fan I mourn the loss of this man. He was an amazing person who helped turn everything around for yall. I hope yall win this weekends game for him and his memory
Rarely would I say this, but Franco Harris was a beautiful man. I met him 22 years ago, he talked ti me for like an hour, and I am a nobody. That was just Franco.
Would it be fair to say that it was probably the best hour of your life 🤗
Omg how we Steeler fans loved to watch the "steel curtain". I was a teenager in the 70's, our whole town were Steeler fans living about 1 1/2 hrs from Pittsburgh here in PA. When they played you could go outside and hear people cheering from every house on the block! So exciting and fun......just loved watching those Steelers and Franco! RIP dear Franco.
Same here in High School and my whole family watches the game Franko played and we in fir us
THE STEELCURTAIN FOREVER!!!
FOREVER RIP BIG FRANKO!!!
MY BROTHER WAS IN GERNANY FIR VEITAM WAS, BUTCEVERY KETTER QAS ABOUT YIU !! AND HIW DID WE PLAY RHIS WEEK AND WHEN HE CANE HOME WE ALL WATCHED TGE GAME WITH MY DAD!! CAUSE HE LOVED YOU TOO!!!!
RIP - YIU ARE MISSED VERY MUCH
This is beyond tragic. There will never be another Franco. RIP #32.
Franco was not only a talented, gifted RB for the Steelers but also....a true humanitarian to the City of Pittsburgh and the many charities he was involved in and touched the lives of those who had the blessing of meeting him. 😃 Rest In Peace, #32. 🙏🏈🖤💛🖤💛
Loved Franco as a kid. 👍🏾
Back in the 1970's there were these Electric Football Games. I had the Steelers and Cowboys game. You turn the switch on and the players run all over the game. When an opposing player touched your player carrying the little foam football, that was a tackle. You could swap the bases under the players.
I was always the Steelers.
I put the bases that ran straight under Franco. My O-lineman got the bases that turned right or left. So I had Franco running straight up the middle for touchdowns like a mad man. 👍🏾
My dad is heartbroken he was his favorite player as a kid 😭😭
A man with a heart as big as the Steel City who won’t ever be forgotten. Rest easy, Franco.
Rest in Peace Franco I normally drive to Pittsburgh but I flew in last year and made a beeline to the Immaculate Reception statue in the airport...Deepest Condolences to the Harris Family and Steelers Nation
Rip Franco as a Steelers fan this is supper sad he won a supper bowl for us and had the best cach ever. RIP spame rip plz
I remember the day the “IR” happened I was watching the game with my dad. After that play I told him this is my team at the age of 8 and been a Steelers fan ever since.
He will be missed
Franco Harris, we will miss you. It's like we lost a little bit of Pittsburgh. Many prayers to your family. You will be greatly missed here on earth but may your eternal reward be great!
Didn't have a chance to meet the man but losing STILL DEEPLY IMPACTS ME. #Here we go Steelers #Legacy 32
Rip Franco 🖤💛🖤💛

As a life long Cowboys fan I am in tears hearing of his passing. RIP Franco... gone to soon
Can’t believe he’s gone RIP Franco Harris forever a legend
He’s up there playing for heavens Steelers team! 🖤💛
Franco now enters the realm of legend. Franco came to the Steelers. When I was 12 years old. The rest is history. I just feel so lucky to live in Pittsburgh and to have been able to enjoy the past 50 years of Steeler football. Franco was the man who started all this a half century ago. RIP. It will not be the same without you.
RIP Franco! So sad he won't be able to be a part of this weekend's festivities in his honor😪🙏🖤💛
I love this. As a Steelers fan it hurts existing but this was really nice
RIP Franco. Gonna miss seeing you at the draft representing Steelers nation. Glad of your immaculate life and career 🖤💛🖤💛
Such a tragedy… I miss him already 😢😞💔
There's not many good things about being old, but one thing is I got to see Franco Harris play when I was a kid. A legend.
My Hero, speaking for all us, and being from Pittsburgh. He changed our world forever.

Thank you Franco 🖤💛
Just unreal this happened this morning on the week of the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception he made. Damn shame. Rest in peace Franco! Thank you for the memories and just being a great human being! 🙏🏼's to his family!
I wasn't born in time to watch him play, but he's the reason I love the #32 so much. Thank you for everything Franco. I know this isn't easy for us, let alone his family, but his impact on and especially off the field will never be forgotten. Rest easy, 🐐 Love and prayers for the Harris family. Steeler Nation will always treasure you 🖤💛

The 1972 Steelers and Franco Harris is what made me a Life Long STEELERS fan as a young boy, I can only say thanks for all the incredible memories over the years and we will miss you. #FrancoHarris, #AlwaysRemember32, #NeverForgotten32, #32, #SteelerNation, #HereWeGo
I´m pretty sure Steelers will win this saturday honoring the day and the memory of the beloved Franco. I was a kid in the 70's but as I was growing up the Pittsburgh Steelers were a magic team and Franco it was a inspiration of couragement, pride and hope. It was really sad to hear this news today and maybe some people don´t understand even if I didn´t meet him, but his personality and kindness ran throught the TV to my heart. From Steeler Nation in México God bless you Franco and thanks forever.
A true football legend! RIP
You made Steeler Nation proud.
On and off the field.
🖤💛❤
As a Steelers fan (Steel Curtain era), my condolences to Francos family and friends.
Love hearing the voice of the Steelers (and WVU Mountaineers), the incomparable Jack Flemming!!
Rip Franco 🖤💛🏈 gone but will never be forgotten legends never die
True that's
great memories growing up in the 70s, for sure we will never forget you FH
You may be gone .. But never forgotten.. R.I.P Legend.. 🖤💛🖤💛💯💯
Great respect for a great man. RIP Franco. Thanks for the memories.
Very sad and shocked hearing of his passing. Great humble man.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the memories Franco! We love you! Rest in peace. Your job is done here
Franco Harris the man of the century on and off the field you will be missed 😢 Rip friend 🙏 😢 number 32 rules 🏈
Legends never die... legends live forever... Mr Pittsburgh R.I.P. Mr Pittsburgh ... Mr legend
Still can't believe we lost him right before his number was going to be retired. RIP Franco
Yeah it doesn’t seem real I was really looking forward to this weekend because I’m a Steelers fan and that was my late father’s favorite Running Back and team on the planet 😢
@@42killac yes obviously no time would have been a good time but losing him today was a bad time. Just wish he lived long enough to see his number retired but at least he knew it was happening. Just crazy they made it seem like he just randomly died. Like they never said he had health issues or anything
@@samhartman5676could be the way the family wanted it
I will never forget this great man
RIP Franco#32
May u R.I.P Franco Harris a true Steeler in heart it's been 50 years since miracle catch in 72 Divisional Round against what was then Oakland Raiders .
That was a great tribute. Though not a football fan, I knew the name Franco Harris. While it is sad he passed just prior to the 50th anniversary of the most memorable NFL play, he lived a great life. RIP Franco
Uno de mis héroes en la niñez.
Franco fue un gran hombre que inspiró a miles de jóvenes a hacer deporte y alejarse de las drogas y otros vicios.
