And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is." -
Skins do the same thing. If fact one of the criticisms of Steve Superior was that during training camp he dusted off a couple numbers that were deemed sacred.Comment

Yep. In his mind none of his players were great because of their own abilities, but only because they were Raider's.........Originally posted by rustoffa

Retired numbers
70 Ernie Stautner
Except for Stautner, the Steelers do not officially retire uniform numbers. However, the following numbers are out of circulation and "unofficially" retired:
12 Terry Bradshaw
32 Franco Harris
47 Mel Blount - Issued during the preseason regularly, and on some occasions to the final 53-man roster. Used five times officially since Blount's retirement, most recently to practice squad member Ronald Stanley in 2005.
52 Mike Webster
58 Jack Lambert
59 Jack Ham - Used once in 1984 by Todd Seabaugh, who played one season with the team. According to legend, the equipment manager—who assigns jersey numbers to new players—later stripped Seabaugh of the number because he "wasn't Jack Ham". The number hasn't been used since.
63 Dermontti Dawson
75 Joe Greene
