| 説明 | "With all this talk of football and family involvement in the sport, I think I should tell you that my vote for probably the best player to wear a uniform from the family would be for Good 'Ole Unca' Merv. He's too modest to tell you all this himself but, back in the day, he played both ways for Earle Haig Collegiate in Toronto (offensive centre and defensive tackle). Merv was a big boy (still is) and the defensive front 4 (a four man line was unheard of in those days) were all big guys and "had their way" with all opposition! By the way, Earle Haig won the Toronto City Championship the year Merv was in grade 13! Unca' Merv was voted to the all Toronto Allstar team chosen by all three newspapers (Star, Telegram (at the time) and the Globe). Unca' Merv was recruited by Simon Fraser University in B.C. (who played in the American University western league) and he went there for one year, but found it hard being so far away from home and had to give up his dream of playing there. He became friends with Dave Cutler ( place kicker for Edmonton Eskimos) who played for Simon Fraser while at University. Unca' Merv transferred to U. of G. for the balance of his education but ruined a knee on a summer job and never got to play football again - too bad, he would have done well on a team at Guelph.Thought you all might like a little history of Good 'Ole Unca' Merv" Good 'Ole Unca' Brian |
