One of the finest running backs ever to play in Canada, the Detroit native was a member of the Rose Bowl winning 1959 Iowa team. The unbelievable Willie "Will o the Wisp" Fleming set a pro football rushing record which stands to this day. In 1963 he carried the ball 127 times for 1,234 yards for an incredible 9.7 yard per carry average. He gained more than 1,000 yards seven straight seasons (rushing and receiving). In 1960 he scored 18 touchdowns for 109 points. He helped the Lions to the Grey Cup twice in 1963 and 1964  and retired in 1967 as one of the legends of the CFL.
