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

After Christmas in 2004, she said to me that Santa didn't bring me the best present ever! When I asked what that was, she said a Ben Roethlisberger jersey! The next morning I went out with her older brother and got her the 1st of many!!! She's also been to Bens football camp the past 2 yrs! She's does love her quarterback!!" -- Christine PetrociApr 06, 2013

Donna Birks509 views"Hi Erin, this is a pic of my sister Donna. As you can see she was enjoying herself while at a home game. We drove from Florida to Pittsburgh to take part in a home game this past season. We must say well worth the drive. We can't wait to come back this up coming season and we will be bringing another sister. All three of us originally born and raised in Pittsburgh and lifetime Steeler fans." -- Barbara PainterApr 06, 2013

March 12, 2013 -- Bull meets Ben462 viewsThis fan story comes from Morris â€œBullâ€ Kay of Birmingham, Alabama, and took place on (where else but) the golf course:

"We were playing golf at Reynolds Plantation on the Great Waters Course, and Ben was playing behind us. My friend left his 4 wood on one of the previous holes and when Ben and his playing partner caught up to us we realized that they had picked it up for us. We immediately recognized him, and he was very nice to autograph a ball for us and to stand in for the photo op.

"It was nice and chilly that day with temperatures in the low to mid 50â€²s, but we noticed he was wearing shorts, lol. By the way, he hits the ball very well.

"All of my Steelers buddies are very jealous. Very nice guy!" â€“ Morris â€œBullâ€ Kay

*Thank you Bull!!Mar 27, 2013

A perfect fan story to post for St. Patrick's Day, 2013!456 viewsMe, Duncan Purcell posing with The Legend!

I am a PGA Golf Professional at Ballybunion Golf Club, Ireland. Last spring on a quiet afternoon, I was in our Pro Shop and in walked Ben and 3 of his buddies. We donâ€™t get much NFL here in Ireland, but I had followed Ben and his Steelers team from their Super Bowl run and win from the previous year. Itâ€™s always enjoyable meeting top sports people and personalities.

I had a brief exchange with his golfing partners, and then plucked up the courage to ask Ben for a hand shake. He was very obliging so I asked for a photo with him and he had no problem with this. Iâ€™ve met many personalities in my job but I have to say that Ben is so approachable and down to earth.

I have relatives in the States that are HUGE Steelers fans and they were just as happy as I was to meet the man himself.

Great guy. And I shall forever be a fan of his. Heâ€™s always welcome back to Ireland, and especially Ballybunion! â€“ Duncan Purcell, County Kerry, Ireland
