Audio book excerpt
In his book, Andy Russell shares his experiences as a Pittsburgh Steelers player. He discusses the team's championship journey, the influential people he encountered, and the valuable lessons he learned. The book also includes stories about memorable games and opponents they faced during their Super Bowl victories. Russell dedicates the book to his late friend and mentor, Walter Bent, who inspired and supported him throughout his career. As a follow-up to his popular book, A Steeler Odyssey, warmer Pittsburgh Steelers star Andy Russell delves deeper into the world of professional football with an odd Steelers journey. Russell gives readers a sense for what it is like to be on the field with a championship team and provides an up-close look at several of the unforgettable personalities who have touched his life. He passes on some of the lessons he learned from such mentors as Dan Devine, Chuck Knoll, and Art Rooney, and the values he attained from all of fame locker mates like Rocky Blier, Franco Harris, and Mean Joe Green. Russell also tells stories about his 10 most memorable games and the opponents he and the Steelers faced during their storied run to four Super Bowl championships. This book is almost as good as a pair of 50-yard line seats at Heinz Field, 2002. Dedication. This book is dedicated to my good friend and mentor, Walter Bent, a wonderful family man and a successful entrepreneur who passed away last year after a valiant struggle against cancer. Walter was always an inspiration, pushing me to work harder and chase my dreams. He significantly enriched my journey and I am forever indebted.
