CFL Hall of Famer Jackie Parker is my favourite football player of all time. He opted to play in Canada after graduating from Mississippi State University in the spring of 1954: Once his college playing days were over Parker was drafted by both the New York Giants of the NFL and the Edmonton Eskimos...

There is a fantastic Facebook group site called "Nostalgic/Sentimental
Vancouver."



Willie was brought up by someone a few weeks ago and it received lots of comments, pics, likes etc.

And fully deserved I'd say!

So are women allowed on this forum?



If so, here are a couple of TSN CFL Fantasy Leagues for ladies in which the participants are lonely:

So it was just over fifty years ago that the 1968 Grey Cup Game between the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Calgary Stampeders was played. The Rough Riders' quarterback that game was legendary Hall of Famer Russ Jackson. After graduating from McMaster University of Hamilton in 1958, Jackson played for t...

With that said, are there any CFL quarterbacks that can be considered game managers? I think two who come to mind are the two Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterbacks who played when the team last won their Grey Cup so many years ago. Sean Salisbury was at the helm in the 1988 Grey Cup and in the first h...

I'm otherwise known as Balticfox. https://www.crf2.com/image.php?u=264&dateline=1394052385&type=profile I've been a hardcore CFL fan since catching part of the 1958 Grey Cup Game on the radio in the living room. The 1959 Topps CFL cards were the first bubble gum cards I ever collected as a k...

In order to remember the playing days of Fleming or Parker you would have to be 65+ so that kinda limits things right there. Dano's right. As over 65 myself I actually (as a young football player in my teens) was introduced to Willie Fleming by my mom who was coordinating a fashion show in North Va...

Hmmmm. An evil entity seems to be at work in this thread. The posts I've made have disappeared.

In order to remember the playing days of Fleming or Parker you would have to be 65+ so that kinda limits things right there. My first exposure to Jackie Parker was probably hearing his name spoken in awed tones by older fellows in the schoolyard when I was in grade one in 1958-59. So I was primed a...

So I started a League for old-time fans of Willie Fleming on TSN CFL Fantasy and it's drawn basically zilch interest: The Wisp! https://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Balticprince/General%20Album%203/General%20Album%203001/Fleming_zpsvbsn0dta.jpg This surprises me. I would have thought there'd st...
