Here we have an ad from Oct. 25, 1958, Star Weekly magazine promoting ‘Star Weekly Fan’ 8-inch-wide Grey Cup crests for the East and West conferences. You needed to send 8 of these coupons and 25 cents for each crest.
A treasure I found in the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre. Joe, John and Tom Forzani. Great Italians. Great football players. #Calgary #yyc #football #CFL #Italian #ladolcevita #lavitabella #lifeisgood #carpediem
Alright I’ll bite. Which curler is wasted and smoking at the Olympics?? Must have missed him/her on the broadcast. Happy to show you the ropes and change your mind Warren. Would even let you join me for my off ice training ☺️

Great 2-page spread by former star player and Toronto Star writer Annis Stukus in Nov. 29, 1953, Star Weekly on Canada’s all-star football players. His picks include Calgary’s end Sugarfoot Anderson and fullback Johnny Bright (shown), plus end Bob Shaw, linebacker Bill Blackburn.
Calgary Stampeders QB John Hufnagel (16) lines up behind centre Larry Tittley and Willie Thomas (right), with Tom Forzani (22) in backfield in 1978 CFL game against Montreal Alouettes. Huff played with Stamps from 1976-79 and is now President-GM.

Legendary.

Remembering when Calgary Stampeders began wearing running horse on their helmets: (left) 25. Terry Evanshen has horse on his helmet for first game of 1967; (right) 54. Jerry Campbell has number on helmet for final home game of 1966. GM Rogers Lehew introduced the horse in 1967.
Calgary DBs Larry Hogue (14) and Richie Hall (27) combine to bring down Edmonton slotback Tom Richards (25) in 1986 game at Commonwealth Stadium. This season was after the stressful Save Our Stamps campaign.
DL Granville ‘Granny’ Liggins spent 6 years with Calgary, leading Stampeders into 3 Grey Cups. That included 1971 when a fumble by Toronto’s Leon McQuay helped Calgary win 14-11. Two years later Liggins was traded to Toronto, ironically for McQuay, who played 2 games with Stamps.
Calgary’s Wayne Harris (55) in action against Montreal on cover of Canadian Weekly mag Aug. 3-9, 1963. Stampeders and Alouettes were predicted to reach Grey Cup but both lost in division semi-finals. Stamps blew 26-point lead to Saskatchewan, lost by a point. Als lost to Ottawa.
Beautiful colour cover of the Nov. 16, 1963, Weekend Magazine introducing its CFL All-Canada 12 two-way dream team. Cover has Calgary’s Hal Krebs (45), Jim Dillard (20) and Tony Pajaczkowski (56). Paj, Lovell Coleman and Don Luzzi were Stampeders selected to the team.
After 3 Grey Cup appearances in 4 years and winning in 1971, Calgary Stampeders missed the playoffs a team record 6 times in a row 1972-77. They finished 4th and 5th 3 times each. Overall record those years 30-64-2, including 8-40 on the road.
Remembering Willie Burden’s amazing 1975 season with Calgary. Willie ran for 1896 yards to beat Earl Lunsford’s Stampeders and CFL rushing record of 1794 yards. He did it with 238 yards in final game, his 10th 100-yard game in 16. Here is his signed game used helmet and buttons.
This is a relaxed picture of Calgary Stampeders’ offensive stars on the bench in 1992 Grey Cup game at Toronto: receivers Allen Pitts (18), Dave Sapunjis (25), Derrick Crawford (83), QB Doug Flutie (20). Stamps would beat Winnipeg Blue Bombers 24-10 to break a 21-year drought.
Canadian Magazine picked Grey Cup all-star team of the 1960s in an article on Nov. 21, 1970. Only one Calgary player Wayne Harris was selected, for 1968. Ottawa had 7 players, Hamilton 6, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg 4 each, BC 2. Montreal, Edmonton, Toronto were shut out.
Remembering the central figures of the Toronto Argos who beat Calgary Stampeders 36-31 in the 1991 Grey Cup. Left to right in Reuters wirephoto: Rocket Ismail, owners John Candy, Wayne Gretzky, Bruce McNall.
Program from Civic Victory Dinner Dec. 3, 1948, at Palliser Hotel, honouring undefeated Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders: Signed by coach Les Lear, captain Paul Rowe, president Tom Brook, Woody Strode, Chuck Anderson, Dave Tomlinson, John Aguirre, Toronto Mayor H.E. McCallum.
