Angelo Mosca will be the first CFL player inducted into the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame.

The former Hamilton Tiger-Cat, and Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee joins former NFL stars, Barry Sanders, Billy Sims and Dan Dierfdorf as the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame class of 2012. They'll be feted at a dinner May 18, at Novi, Michigan.

The Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame was started six years ago by former NFL players such as Mike Ditka and Gale Sayers, and about 40 honorees have been inducted so far.

Mosca was nominated by the Board of Directors of the CFL Alumni Association.

"Angelo has been a huge ambassador for the CFLAA, not only at high profile events such as the Grey Cup but throughout the year at many fundraising events and appearances," said Leo Ezerins, executive- director of the CFLAA. "He is especially committed to helping out the CFLAA Dire Needs Fund."

Mosca said it was a great honour to be the first CFL player to enter the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame.

And it was especially touching to have the official announcement made on February 13, his 74TH birthday and shortly after his autobiography Tell Me To My Face was published.
