He Wore It Well: Bob Cameron, 1980-2003

Bob Cameron’s story is as much about perseverance as it is about longevity. He set the CFL record for consecutive games, dressing for 353 in a row and playing until he was 48 years-old – all this after being cut countless times before landing a home with the Bombers. He was a quarterback during his college days at Acadia – he won the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top player in the country in 1976 – and holds the majority of the CFL’s punting records.

FYI: 

Winnipeg sportswriting legend Vince Leah referred to Bill Ceretti as ‘one of the finest Canadian-born linemen in the history of the game.’ Ceretti was a member of three Grey Cup championship teams in 1935, 1939 and 1941, and earned the nickname ‘Red Dog’ for his prowess at a card game with the same name.
