A look at Steelers Club taking shape, with construction underway back in 1989. 📸

It’s incredible to see where it all started compared to the Steelers we know today!

Who remembers watching it all come to life?

Happy 61st Birthday to Illawarra Steelers legend Ian Russell!

Russell debuted in '86 but didn't make his impact with the club until '88 and went on to play 114 First Grade games with the Steelers through '94. A talented ball playing lock, he was a vital part of the Illawarra core that emerged in the early '90s.

He won the Dally M Lock of the Year in '92 - and was a key figure in Illawarra's win in the '92 Tooheys Challenge Final over Brisbane, and their great season to sit in 3rd spot after 22 rounds, but he missed the Finals with a hamstring injury, and the Steelers were knocked out in the Preliminary Final by St George.

Russell also played in Illawarra's fairytale run to the '89 Panasonic Cup Final, despite sitting in 16th spot during the season, but Brisbane won.

He joined North Queensland for their debut season in '95 but would finish his career in the UK Super League with Paris in '96 and then Oldham in '97.

HB Ian!
