Two days before Christmas in 1972, a holiday miracle helped the Pittsburgh Steelers knock off the Oakland Raiders in an AFC playoff game. Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw threw a pass to John Fuqua, who was immediately hit and lost possession of the ball, but fullback Franco Harris scooped up the ball before it hit the turf and ran it in for a game-winning touchdown, prompting the unforgettable nickname. This NFL playoff program from that unforgettable game is in EX condition with a spine split at the bottom. The cover remains tight otherwise. The famous phrase was first used on air by Steelers radio announcer Myron Cope.
