Tunch Ilkin is stepping away from the broadcast booth so he can continue his fight against ALS. Ilkin, the former Steelers offensive lineman and long-time color analyst on radio broadcasts, announced his retirement Thursday in a statement released through the team.
The 63-year old Ilkin played for the Steelers from 1980-92 and joined the broadcast team in 1998. He became the prime analyst when Myron Cope retired after the 2004 season. He announced his ALS diagnosis in September. His last broadcast was the Steelers’ playoff loss to Cleveland back in January.
