He Wore It Well:

Troy Westwood, K, 1991-07, 2009

He’s a Manitoba product and his impression on the football team over the last three decades has been significant. Westwood could kick, that’s for sure, but was also a bit of a renaissance man during his playing days, trying his luck as a boxer, dancer, race car driver and singer.

He retired as the Bombers’ all-time leading scorer with 2,748 points and holds numerous career marks for field goals. Westwood, now a fixture on sports radio with TSN 1290, was always clever when staring into a camera or speaking to reporters, and his comments about Saskatchewan Roughriders fans back in 2003 were the spark that gave us the Banjo Bowl.

FYI: 

Don Jonas was the first Bomber to win the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player Award. No slight against Jonas, but that’s a shocking fact when you consider the honour was first presented in 1953 and no Bomber won the award during the team’s Glory Days of 1958-62 that featured hall of famers like Ken Ploen and Leo Lewis.
