He was probably the first Chinese-Canadian to enter the CFL and was nicknamed the China Clipper. He won four Grey Cups and also as an executive won a Stanley Cup as well.

A good clip on the China Clipper.




And I always get a kick out of Kwong's cameo in this Stampeder commercial.

RIP Normie. Condolences to his friends and family.

Got to see him play when I was a youth. One of the all time greats in the CFL.
