If you are like me, and about my age, you grew up listening to the likes of Bill Hillgrove, Myron Cope and Tunch Ilkin on the radio. I distinctly remember driving home from church in the family minivan listening to the pre-game show for the Steelers leading up to the next big game on the schedule.
I didn’t get to see Ilkin play for the Steelers in the Chuck Noll era, but Ilkin, and his voice, has always been associated with the Steelers organization. I know I am not alone in this regard when referring to Tunch Ilkin.
