He's probably long forgotten. What do you know or remember about Skrien's personality?
No Mark Gastineau
Mark Gastineau, Lary Kuharich, and Major Harris can all be represented by Nelson Skalbania.

If any coach is not on the list, I'd say the no-nonsense, drill sergeant attititude of Greg Mohns.

I would say Vic Rapp over Mohns

Very quiet and unassuming. The reason why he was eventually fired was he lost control of the team. Too many players who liked to have a good time such as Dick Fouts, and Joe Kapp.

Well, that would explain why Dave Skrien was not selected. A quiet, introverted, conservative person would never qualify as a personality.

As for Willie Fleming, they were the days where there wasn't sophisticated media so it was hard to remember media clips to show and remember a personality.

Reviving this old thread because of a recent celebrity passing:

1. PAMELA ANDERSON - The all-Canadian girl (Anderson was born on the very day of Canada’s centennial, July 1, 1967) the natural brunette from Ladysmith was “discovered” at a Lions game when her image was caught by a roving video camera and projected on the stadium’s Jumbotron. She later appeared on the cover of Playboy and ultimately landed her signature role as C.J. Parker on the TV show Baywatch where, thanks to hair bleach and breast augmentation, Anderson became the personification of southern California babedom. In 2006, she received her deserved star on Canada’s Walk of Fame.
Pamela Anderson has paid a tribute to her former late boss who allowed her to became a famous international celebrity.
