Rip Franco 🖤💛🖤💛
RIP #32! Steelers Legend!
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.❤
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. ❤️
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🖤💛
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. 🙏🏈🖤💛🖤💛
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…
My dad is heartbroken he was his favorite player as a kid 😭😭
Such a tragedy… I miss him already 😢😞💔
Rest in peace champ #PittsburghSteelers4Life
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

Franco Harris. The Greatest Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Ever (1950-2022). #RIPFrancoHarris
An absolute Steelers legend, come on Saturday nights boys do it for Franco.
I would have loved to been there in person to see the immaculate reception
A legendary man on the field. A man who was a legend off the field. He was everything people should aspire to be. Rest easy, brother. Rest easy.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the memories Franco! We love you! Rest in peace. Your job is done here
RIP to the greatest Steeler ever. #HarrisLegend #Steelers #NFL
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 🤗
A great man. R. I. P. Franco. Steelernation will always love you forever. ❤️🕊️🕊️
Rip Franco 🖤💛🏈 gone but will never be forgotten legends never die
True that's
My first and favorite player of all time, I was 6 years old when I started rooting for Franco and the Steelers. 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.
Mis condolencias desde México.
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.
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.
Rest In Peace Franco Harris a real legend in the NFL won of the best running backs of all time
The man is a part of one of the most famous plays of all time. RIP Mr. Harris. You bled the Black & Yellow.
Rip legend 🕊️
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 🖤💛
RIP legend
A very fitting tribute to one of the all-time greats.
He is truly a legend. Steeler Nation will miss so very much.
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.
I love you Franco!, thanks for all the great memories you gave me since I was a kid, you are an immortal NFL God, forever!
Thank you for all the memories Mr. Harris, you will be loved for ever! LEGEND! :)
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!
My prayers and condolences go to the family, friends, and team mates to the Great Franco Harris. This Icon I remember watching him and terry and mean joe and lynn to watch them play is an honor and a memory i will never forget.
Very sad and shocked hearing of his passing. Great humble man.
Legend on the field. Better human being.
Great respect for a great man. RIP Franco. Thanks for the memories.
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
rip franco. thank you from the city of pittsburgh!
RIP to an absolute legend Rest easy legend
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!!
I will never forget this great man
RIP Franco#32
Damn Franco. I rooted against you, because I followed Tony Dorsett through college and the Dallas Cowboys, but I always respected you for your grit and determination as a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. My condolences to your family, friends, teammates in your passing. May God embrace your soul for eternity,
Rip legend true role model 🙏
RIP a Steeler Legend with the Immaculate Reception was Legendary. Franco Harris was a legend and he will always live in the hearts of us Steelers fans. RIP Franco Harris
And this Ravers fan. Love you Franco
Rest in Peace Franco! Thank you for the memories!
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. 👍🏾
RIP TO FRANCO HARRIS: ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC MEN IN THE NFL.
Pittsburgh Steelers are the only franchise that matters. 🖤💛
A true legend
Love Franco! Always!
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 .
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
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
Thank you for the memories Franco, you were one of the greatest players on one of the Greatest Teams of all time, Keep on playing in heaven... God will enjoy watching you play...
True champion!!🏈🏈
I was shocked to know he had passed. RIP
I literally called his name two weeks ago while at the Panthers Game. I cried a little when I heard the new. Rip to a great man, football player and forever legend
Not being from this era I did not realize how pivotal a player he was...This was great to see.
dude what even happened???😭😭😭 so sad, if only he could’ve made it to the ceremony i’m sure he would’ve been so happy to be there and everyone else would’ve been so happy to to see a legend walk on the field again. prayers to his family and friends!
Clot shot 💉💀
A legend on & off the field. RIP Franco.
RIP Legend, you will truly be missed!
We love and miss u🖤💛
Franco was an awesome athlete, but more importantly a genuinely kind, caring man. Rest in peace. And my prayers to all his loved ones. 💖🙏💖
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
I love this. As a Steelers fan it hurts existing but this was really nice
As a kid playing football in the back yard you were either Sam Bam Cunningham.,Mercury Morris,Franco Harris. Sad to see your hero's pass. But Mr Franco Harris inspired a generation of kids.
#32 RIP Sir Franco.
