SCB Steelers’ Quick Hitters: The “Italian Army Salute” Edition

Good Friday to You Steelers’ Fans!

Many of you will recall the days of ‘Lambert’s Lunatics’ or ‘Gerela’s Gorillas’ during the 1970’s but perhaps the most identifiable of them all was Franco’s Italian Army. I first learned from the crew over at StillerGang that one of the founders, Mr. Albert Vento, passed away recently. If you aren’t old enough to recall the green army helmets and the Italian flags then I strongly urge you to do some research about your favorite team. So popular was the Army that even fellow Italians like Frank Sinatra were inducted into the movement.
