Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert was among the toughest, meanest tacklers ever to play football. Blonde-haired with a horseshoe mustache and menacing eyes, Lambert was an enforcer on four Steelers’ Super Bowl-winning teams in the 1970s and early 80s. In his black Pittsburgh jersey and with several front teeth missing, Lambert looked “like Count Dracula in cleats,” as once described in a highlight film. An Ohio native whom the Steelers drafted in the second round out of Kent State in 1974, Lambert – who was also nicknamed “Darth Vader” – was 6-foot-4 but skinny, at 220 pounds. Yet his ferociousness helped him become a six-time All-Pro who in 1976 recovered a league-best eight fumbles. Lambert, whom a prominent newspaper columnist once called “the pro from Pittsburgh, Transylvania,” was in fact quiet away from football – a bird watcher and fisherman. Yet, 35 years after his retirement, No. 58 Lambert jerseys can still be spotted throughout the crowd at Steelers’ games – a personification of that city’s blue-collar tradition.
