There is a fantastic Facebook group site called "Nostalgic/Sentimental
Vancouver."



Willie was brought up by someone a few weeks ago and it received lots of comments, pics, likes etc.
And fully deserved I'd say!

The Star Weekly had a weekly full page photo of star CFL players like Parker, Hal Patterson - All WR, Sam the Rifle Etcheverry, Johnny Bright, Rollie Miles, Normie Kwong, Jackie Parker, Kenny Ploen (QB, half and DB!).
Like these from 1958?

Or like these from1963?

They were a great feature in those bygone days when coloured pictures of sports stars were seldom to be found.

Are you also familiar with the CFL player photo pages that were included in the Weekend Magazine supplement to Saturday newspapers from 1957-59?

Like us kids these players (even stars) played more than one position and kickers weren't specialists.
Oh so very true!

Unlike today's athletes, you can actually read the signature back then.
