Lynn "Lefty" Henrickson. Met him at the Grey Cup in Vancouver. Told him he drove me nuts with his numerous offsides. He laughed and said that he had to compensate for his lack of speed by leaving early.David wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 9:42 pm Nice shots Ernie! Sonny Homer was before my time, but I know what he meant the Lions' organization and he was a key part of their short lived "glory days" of '63 and '64.

I coulda had it. I coulda. But I was AFK. Dayum.
I couldn't stay away for long -- the suspense was killin' me. Glad to see a winner!
Mike Trevathan was good as a Lions receiver from 1991-97 and he had the privilege of playing with several hall of fame QB's like Doug Flutie, Danny McManus, and Damon Allen. Unfortunately though, I'd say he was somewhat overshadowed and masked by many good receivers at that time such as Darren Flutie, Ray Alexander, Jay Christensen, Matt Clark, Alfred Jackson, Jimmy Cunningham, Yo Murphy, etc. and as such, he was simply lost in the shuffle of the several good receivers. And despite the fact that with seven seasons as a Lion he played much longer than all the other receivers who came and gone (tied with Matt Clark) he didn't necessarily "stand out" over his fellow receivers. And this is very unfortunate but off the top of my head I couldn't immediately recall any notable and exceptional plays unlike say Darren Flutie and Ray Alexander with their heroic plays in the 1994 WDF.David wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 9:40 am Today's Throwback Thursday features Mike "Trap" Trevethan (seen here horsing around with Lui on photo day), a tough, fearless receiver (1991-1997) who played 113 games in black and orange. Mike stands 5th all-time on the club in receiving yards, yet surprisingly little is known or talked about him today. He was one of my favs at the time.

Several times in the past we created threads involving lists, rankings, and comparisons (Best Lions Players, Best Lions Games, Best Lions Trades, etc.) sometimes I would create pairs and list more than one entry for the same ranking if I felt their situations were very similar. And as such, I'll do another pairing now as I think this player had an almost identical situation and legacy as that of Mike Trevathan and that player would be Vancouver-born receiver Matt Clark.Robbie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 10:41 amMike Trevathan was good as a Lions receiver from 1991-97 and he had the privilege of playing with several hall of fame QB's like Doug Flutie, Danny McManus, and Damon Allen.
