The Pittsburgh Steelers do not normally retire numbers, however, they have chosen to not distribute several numbers. The only official retired number is Ernie Stautner's 70. The numbers 12, 32, 52, 58, 59 and 75 will probably not be seen in the near future. Also, I wouldn't expect to see 36 again anytime soon.
In American football, a jersey number typically belongs to only one player, although there are a few cases in which numbers are shared. The number 58 was worn proudly by Jack Lambert of the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1974 to 1984. Derrick Thomas of the Kansas City Chiefs then took on the number from 1989 until his death in 2000.
Just one, Ernie Stauntner's #70. The Steelers decided during the 1970's that they had so many great players they couldn't afford to retire so many. It is generally understood however that you can't wear 12, 32, 47, 52, 58, 59 or 75 though.
