SpeedFlex27 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Jeff Croonen. There's a sad story here somewhere regarding being assaulted by a friend/acquaintance who attacked him from behind leaving him with brain damage & his CFL career over. The incident is referred in the link but I can't find details anywhere. Croonen passed away suddenly at age 46 in 2013. I didn't know any of this until I read the link. RIP Jeff. https://www.cflaa.ca/in-memory-of-jeffrey-croonen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) So I am using Ed Tait’s template of “Bombers by the numbers” and giving extra credit for those he named, and he chose Gavin Walls over Gerry James for “he wore it well”. He put James in for #28 instead, and when I look at that number I see that James stood out well above anyone else there……with one glaring exception in my mind. Plus, James was inducted into the Ring of Honour as #98, so I am going to modify my own standards and include him here along with Gavin Walls who is pictured above. Besides, no reason we can’t have more than one person per day on the countdown picture.

Truly remarkable. Beyond that, who can say they won. Grey Cup and a Memorial Cup, who can say they played in a Grey Cup (winning) and a Stanley Cup Final (losing, of course…..it’s the Leafs) in the same season (1959 and 1959-60), and who can say they won a Grey Cup and celebrated by playing an NHL game RIGHT AFTER ON THE SAME DAY????? (NOV. 30/57, a day after he won MOst Outstanding Canadian award). No one else, that’s who. Stickem and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall it, Bell recieved the penalty for objectional conduct - taunting, and for clipping, and for being a tool without a permit. penalty was 15 yards and he had to remain an Argo. Was considered by many to be one of the harshest penalties ever handed down. Only thing worse would have been to have been immediately made a Rider, but no one really deserves that fate. johnzo, Rod Black, Tracker and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigg jay Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 It was definitely against Bell.

BomberBall Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Guess I was wrong. I just remember being furious… Must have been because Kerwin ******* Bell scored a rushing TD against us and not a BS penalty. My bad. 😁 bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I remember a lot of people wrote walls off purely based on size. He was such a solid player though. Not as flashy as some other guys but rock solid. Noeller and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
