Guys I hated

MOSCA AND BARROW



I mean they were just brutal to any Argonaut, but especially QB's.
Wally Gabler once said he thought he died and gone to heaven when the Argos traded him to Winnipeg, it meant he only had to face Mosca twice a year, instead of 4 times. Probably saved my life, said Gabler. He was so nice off the field, but on it, he was a monster.

Barrow of course was no choir boy either. He was ritualistic sadistic. Hell of a lineman, the pair of them.



ED McQUARTERS

Nicknamed Dr Death, he would live up to that name, as did the player who replaced him, Bill "the Undertaker" Baker.

He ate running backs, he stomped on slot backs, and Quarter backs sought religious asylum as protection. Wishful thinking.

Bill Baker took his right defensive end spot, and continued the Regina tradition of leading the CFL in sacks.














OTTAWA FRONT FOUR

These are the guys from the 1970's, but the foursome was made even worse by Soupy Campbell, and Billy Joe Booth, they traveled in packs like wolves.
I hated these guys !









SONNY WADE


Ooh just the image of this guy makes my blood boil.

One memorable game at the old Autostad in Montreal, ( pre Olympic Stadium days ) Wade was intercepted by the Argonauts ( think this was 1970 or 69 ) and during the runback, deep safety Jim Tomlin was completed a block and went down on the play. Wade actually stepped, or tried to stomp on Tomlin's head. No kidding folks, to which this incensed the Argos because it was missed by the refs. Ed Harrington chased Sonny Wade off the field, and vowed in the Telegram newspaper to hunt Wade down at the next game and take his scalp. Then CFL commissioner Jake Gaudaur fined Harrington for his comments, and when the Als next played at the mistake by the lake, Wade did indeed feel the the wrath of the Argo defense. Als coach Sam Etchevarry pulled Wade early in the 4rth qurater, and later protested to the league, but nothing more came of it.



Others of note, John Helton, Wayne Harris, Dan Kepley, Garney Henley, Ben Zambiasi, current Blue Bomber Barrin Simpson.
