August 13, 20186 yr Author comment_347262 Some really great artwork on the first pic. The Bombers wore that uniform in 1962. That was the year the iconic W first appeared on their helmets.
August 13, 20186 yr comment_347270 Many moons ago I found volumes of them at McMaster library. Stopped publishing around 1974 I think.

August 13, 20186 yr Author comment_347273 This one's for you Zontar. Hamilton Tiger Cats qb Joe Zuger #9 (who should be in the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame IMHO) & #26 DB & WR Garney Henley. Edited August 13, 20186 yr by SpeedFlex27
August 13, 20186 yr comment_347283 Thanks! Zuger was a little before my time. Reputation is still intact here. Went to high school with his daughter.

Joe Zuger doesn't get the props he deserves. He played qb & defensive back when he wasn't playing qb. He quarterbacked the Ti Cats to GC victories in 1965 & 67. Backed up Bernie Faloney in the 1962, 63 & 64 GC games.

August 13, 20186 yr Author comment_347293 Faloney was traded to the Als in 1965 & Zuger took over. Here's a pic of Als Head Coach Jim Trimble reunited with his former qb from their glory days in Hamilton. Sam Etcheverry is also there to welcome Faloney to his very first practice.
August 13, 20186 yr comment_347295 Went to Faloneys testimonial dinner in 1999. He was already diagnosed with terminal cancer so no one expected him to be there. At the end one his sons was presumably giving last speech of the night. His other son then wheels him out from off stage. His appearance was absolutely shocking. Place was utterly silent. He spoke a few words. Died about two mos later. I was 20 something and didn't give a monkeys rear end about much but that stayed with me Edited August 13, 20186 yr by Zontar

August 14, 20186 yr comment_347478 Instant replay, challenges and refcam are nice, but sometimes I think it was better when football was played (and watched) this way.

Up close and intimate to watch a game though. Look how small the end zones are. Barely 10 yards. I read somewhere that on one side of the field the fence was so close to the field that teams lined up in the end zone to kick converts. Only on one side though. As far as capacity goes, Osborne Stadium had grandstands on both sides of the field right to the back of the end zones. Edited August 14, 20186 yr by SpeedFlex27
