Former Steelers player, and radio personality, Tunch Ilkin diagnosed with ALS

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.
