Passing of a Lion legend from some of the darker years - Greg Findlay
Posted: Sat May 22, 2021 11:52 am
I stumbled across this a few minutes ago while Googling for the CFLPA.
Former Lion and one of their better players from the 1960s and early 1970s Greg Findlay passed away on May 11th in Langley. Findlay was a Lion from 1962 thru 1973. One of the things I remember about Findlay was that in the latter part of his career he wasn't overly fond of going through was the grind of training camp. Calling it a grind is likely an understatement as it often consisted of fully padded two-a-day sessions. Findlay would regularly retire at the start of training camp and unretire as the new season approached.
