I know he was at the 1979 team 25th anniversary deal in '04 and got the loudest ovation of them all. To me that guy will ALWAYS be the heart and soul of the Steelers. Im sending you a PM.

to any true Steelers fan, Lambert's face should be what you think of when you think of the Steeler franchise. Those Steeler teams had great players at every position, but when it comes to the face, its Jack Lambert. Hands down. I read in the book "Tales from behind the Steel Curtain" a few funny stories about him. One time during the '79 season Lambert and some buddies was drinking in a bar, when this guy who played at the very end of the Packer dynasty in the '60s came in and sat across the bar from him..he walked over to Lambert and they started arguing about who the greater dynasty was, so Lambert whipped his ***, lol..simple as that. Another story: the guy who wrote the book, Jim Wexell, was trying to catch up with Lambert after the Steelers/Redskins game, which was last game played at Three Rivers Stadium. He found Lambert, Greg Lloyd, Jack Hamm, among some other Steeler greats at a bar shooting the breeze and swapping stories. Wexell approached Lambert and asked for a quick interview, and Lambert said "sure, let me finish this one and Ill be right with you". After Lambert finished his beer, Greg Lloyd said "Hey Jack, why are you talking to this asshole, come on over here and hang out with us". Lambert said "You have no class Greg, now shut up while I give this interview". Wexell said Lloyd never said a word, lol. Two of the baddest men ever to play in the NFL, and Lambert scared one of 'em..
