RUANAIDH

RUANAIDH - (RU-AH-NEE) is the Gaelic spelling for Rooney.

SCHGraphic.jpg

Part memoir, part anecdotal history of Pittsburgh’s North Side, where the author grew up, and part football book, “Ruanaidh” follows to its conclusion the extraordinary life of Art Rooney, Sr. - the Chief. The strange-looking title (pronounced Ru-ah-nee) is the Gaelic word for Rooney.

BookOpen.jpg BookClosed.jpg

Candid personality portraits of almost everybody in the Chief’s wide orbit are mingled with tales from Art Rooney, Jr’s own high school and college football-playing days, from his time as a failed drama student in New York, from his six months of boot camp training with the Marines, and from his subsequent career as personnel director of his father’s football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
