Book Reviews of Dan Rooney: My 75 Years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL
Book Review: Great read
Summary: 4 Stars
Dan Rooney's autobiography is a good read filled with a wealth of information on the history of the NFL and the Steelers. He gives a solid account of his childhood and how he got to love football.
It is interesting to read his thoughts on some of the players over the years and how much winning the first Superbowl meant not only to the Steelers and himself but to the city of Pittsburgh who had been starved of a winning football team for too many years.
I wouldn't have minded a bit more information about his father Art Rooney as he appears to have been quite a character. Maybe there is room for a biography of him in the future?
Rooney was a first-hand witness of the NFL from being a small boy taken with his father to the games to being a man who saw the sport grow and grow to where we are today.
Great read.
