June, 2012 - A chance meeting on the Old Course513 viewsDavid Field was a caddy at the course this past summer when Ben and his friends were there on a golfing vacation. He saw Big Ben on the course and knew he had to meet him! He just recently found the websiteâ€™s twitter page and tweeted his photo and a â€œthank youâ€!

From David:

As a caddie we see the ballot and all the names of players on the Old Course daily and obviously take note of the celebs that come through. Iâ€™m a huge American football fan even though Iâ€™m Scottish and coverage is limited over here. We had heard rumours of Big Ben being over in St. Andrews and when the ballot went up I noticed his name and my initial reaction was to just meet him! It was on the 13th hole of the Old Course and I was caddying down the 6th which is adjacent. I looked over and noticed the size of the man and thought, â€œWow thatâ€™s Big Ben!â€. I immediately went over and asked for a picture while congratulating him on the Super Bowl wins and the most amazing TD pass ever to Santonio Holmes! Ben was a perfect gentleman and said he always loves to meet fans. Top man â€“ top professional!

Steeler Nation Down Under453 views"Let the boys know that Yinzers around the world are wearing the Black and Gold, twirling our terrible towels and spreading the Good Word of The Son (Coach Mike Tomlin,) The Spirit (Sir Dick LeBeau) and The Wholy Ghost (Art Rooney.) Australians wonder why football players wear pads and I say two words, "Troy Polamalu." Needless to say, Steeler Nation is in every corner of this blue marble.

"Great Win! Keep it going. More importantly, congratulations on the birth of your new joy, Benny Jr. If you come to Darwin I will show you crocodiles. Not many Pittsburgh born and bred Yinzers have seen them and I know you are from Ohio. Enjoy, the picture. Its my wife and me at Uluruu in the Red Centre. And yes, that is a Barry Foster jersey. I try to rock it on the fan website but its never there...but it is always on me half way around the world when the Black and Gold take the field. Tell Shaun "South Side" Suisham hell of a win.

"Here we go Steelers, here we go!"

-- David Witzke, sent after the Steelers vs Ravens win on December 2, 2012.

Steelers spirit at the office!478 views"This year our departments had to come up with a store front theme. I was born and raised a Steelers fan in Elderton, PA, so there was no question as to what my store would beâ€¦.. Steelers Nation Spirit Shoppe! It is awesome to be a part of Steelers Nation! HERE WE GO STEELERS!" -- Deanna Lawton, Sarasota, FL

November, 2014: Fan Photos476 views"This is my 6-yr-old daughter, Jade, representing Ben at school, 1st Grade, after the Steelers win over the Ravens. #7 breaking and making records! #steelernation" -- Dee Michaels

Uho! 441 viewsI certainly hope these guys aren't planning on driving home in the Gnome Mobile without a DG (Designated Gnome) behind the wheel!

"Thought you guys might like seeing what my husband, Bruce does in his spare time. He searches all stores for these gnomes and paints them like the Steelers. They look like the offensive line. He paints them and gives them to friends and family and they are all over West Mifflin yards! Lol!!" -- Denise Cubakovic

In memory of Grant Seward543 viewsAt age 22 my son Grant (wearing Ben's jersey) was the biggest fan that Ben and the Steelers could ever have! On Nov 2, 2011 he died.

In his short life he had converted many northern KY families from Bengals to Steelers fans. He would drive hundreds of miles to be in Heinz Field on game day and even to the Superbowl. He loved the Steelers more than anything. He had the Steelers emblem tattooed on his upper arm, banners on the house, Steelers lounge chair, Steelers jerseys, jackets, t-shirts, pants, sheets, pillows, truck emblems, steering wheel and hitch cover, and on and on. It was who he was.

His dream was for me to attend a game at Heinz Field which we had planned to do this year in December against the Bengals. My work schedule had prevented me from attending in the past even though I had wanted to very much. Last night the Steelers played the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. Me and my girls went in our Steelers gear in memory of their brother Grant.

Just wanted to thank Ben and the Steelers team for that awesome win. It was such a tribute to my son who I know was there in spirit with a big smile on his face.

Derrick Thomas444 views"Derrick is a 12-year old straight A student. He is in 6th grade and has been playing football for 7 years. He one day hopes to be as good a quarterback as Ben! He loves the Steelers and Ben as much as he loves me, his mom! Lol! One day, he hopes to make it to a Steelers game and meet his all-time favorite player, Big Ben, as we live in Oceanside, California." -- Mom Cory Thomas

That's Derrick posing with very awesome birthday cake. That's dad Dave in the background!
