Pittsburgh, PA (Betting Express) - Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Dwight White has died at the age of 58.

The Steelers did not release details, saying only that funeral services will be Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

White was a member of the Steel Curtain defense that helped the Steelers win four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s. He was also voted to the franchise's 75th season all-time team.

"Dwight White was one of the greatest players to ever wear a Steelers uniform," said Steelers chairman Dan Rooney in a statement. "He played with a relentlessness that led us to four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s. Dwight refused to be denied, as was evidenced when he walked out of the hospital with pneumonia to play in Super Bowl IX and had an outstanding game, scoring our first points by sacking Fran Tarkenton for a safety.

"Dwight will be remembered by those who knew him even more for being a wonderful and caring person. He was committed to the city of Pittsburgh and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate than himself. Our prayers go out to his family. We will miss Dwight, but we will never forget everything he meant to the Steelers organization."

White was a fourth-round pick in the 1971 draft out of East Texas State and played with the Steelers through the 1980 season. He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
