John Banaszak John Banaszak John Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975 season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion team out of training camp. He came to the Steelers as a graduate of Eastern Michigan with a bachelor's degree in health, physical education and recreation. Primarily a special teams player during Pittsburgh's Super Bowl X Championship team, Banaszak started five games the following season and then started at both the right end and inside tackle positions in 1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list. Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular season games at defensive end on a pair of Pittsburgh Super Bowl Championship teams (XIII & XIV). During Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. In the following Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams, Banaszak finished with five tackles and a sack in a 31-19 Steelers victory. After his stint with the Steelers, Banaszak spent the 1983 and 1984 seasons with the Michigan Panthers of the USFL. He then moved on to serve as a player/coach with the Memphis Showboats, also of the USFL, in 1985. While with the Showboats he mentored former NFL standout Reggie White. Banaszak took a unique route to the NFL via his schooling. John enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and spent two years in the service between high school and university. John is now a member of the Robert Morris University Colonial’s football coaching staff in the role of assistant head coach. As well as serving as assistant head coach, Banaszak is responsible for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit. Sports Celebrity Marketing S.C.M.

Reviews from Players/AuthorsBy Ron LippockAndy Russell: ldquo;Ron Lippock has collected an amazing number of outstanding comments from some of the top NFL players. They are responses to very good questions, making those top players have to think before answering. The comments are extraordinarily candid, informative, some emotional and often very detailed, giving the reader an inside view of what itrsquo;s like to play in the NFL.rdquo;John Banaszak: ldquo;I thoroughly enjoyed Steelers Takeaways. Reading the stories of the players that wore the Black and Gold before me and the stories of the Steelers that played after me was very interesting. The common thread through all the decades is, anyone that played for the Steelers was very proud to put on the uniform. The memories and stories of my teammates and coaches took me back to my playing days. Great book, Great read. Every Steeler fan will get an idea of what we went through no matter what decade they are from.

    APBA Great Teams of the Past Football Season Card Set Volume 1 The following players comprise the Great team of the Past Vol. 1 APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. 1942 CHICAGO 1950 CLEVELAND 1962 GREEN BAY 1968 BALTIMORE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE Wide Receiver: John Siegel Wide Receiver: Mac Speedie Wide Receiver: Boyd Dowler PA Wide Receiver: Willie Richardson George Wilson Dante Lavelli Max McGee PB Jimmy Orr Hampton Pool Horace Gillom OC PA Gary Barnes Alex Hawkins Connie Mack Berry George Young Tackle: Bob Skoronski Ray Perkins Bob Nowaskey Tackle: Lou Groza KA KOA Forrest Gregg Gail Cogdill Clint Wager Lou Rymkus OC Norm Masters Tackle: Bob Vogel Tackle: Ed Kolman Chubby Gregg KB KOB Guard: Fuzzy Thurston Sam Ball Lee Artoe KB KOB John Sanusky Jerry Kramer KA KOA John Williams Joe Stydahar KB KOB John Kissell Ed Blaine Guard: Glenn Ressler Bill Hempel Guard: Weldon Humble Center: Jim Ringo Dan Sullivan Al Hoptowit Lin
