  • Russ Jackson on CFL.Ca Comments That “Good Quarterbacks Like Russ Jackson Are a Special Kind
    Devon Forbes Mathew Neal PED 201 Prof. Byl March 30 th , 2009 A Biography of Russell Stanley Jackson Displaying one of the finest athletes representing Canada is Russell “Russ” Stanley Jackson. On the day of July 28 th , 1936 in Hamilton, Ontario comes a child who is to be recognized as one of the greatest contributors to genuine passion for the love of athletics and sportsmanship both on and off the playing field. Jackson’s early life truly defined what his passion was: sports. Jackson excelled as an athlete in his careers in basketball, hockey, and baseball. Many spectators that watched Jackson on the playing field often came to the conclusion that as his skill level rose, so did the fortunes of his fellow players. Jackson was truly a beneficial addition to any team he took part in. Russ played several sports and loved the competition involved in it. Baseball was a large part of his life from early childhood to adolescence. Jackson was involved in some semi‐pro baseball in Hamilton for a period of time; however, he grew out of it. Jackson began to develop a passion for football, yet his father felt that there was no insurance after the football season ended. Instead, he felt academics were a priority. Despite Jackson’s father’s disagreement with playing football during school, Russ got his neighbour to sign the permission to play (Canadian Heroes with Canada Heroes). Jackson had the intent of playing defensive back and dominated playing in the senior level while he, himself, was still a junior.

  • Key Historical Moments
    KEY HISTORICAL MOMENTS GETTING INTO THE WIFU: 1951 TO 1954 1951 A group led by Ken Stauffer and Tiny Radar, inspired by columnist Andy Lytle, sends representatives to the off-season Western Interprovincial Football Union meetings to initiate Vancouver’s bid for a team. 1952 WIFU rejects Vancouver’s application when Winnipeg and Regina vote against the idea of a fifth team. 1953 The first annual meeting of the club, held on January 22, 1953 saw Arthur E. Mercer named as the first President. With the help of future Hall of Fame builder Vic Spencer, Vancouver was granted a conditional franchise on the requirements of a 15,000 seat stadium, selling 6,500 season tickets and providing guaranteed travel expenses of the visiting teams. The Lions hire their first head coach Annis Stukus who begins to scout for players without the aid of an expansion draft. 1953 Water boy and future club GM, President and Hall of Famer Bob Ackles is hired. 1954 Empire Stadium opens in time for the 1954 British Empire Games and the Lions’ inaugural season in the WIFU. The Lions first-ever game is a 22-0 pre-season loss to Montreal before 19,371 spectators. 1954 The Lions open at home on August 28, 1954 against Winnipeg and their first ever TD comes a minute before half-time as By Bailey crashes over from a yard out to give BC a 5-1 lead. The Bombers fought back however with a TD to level the score. Two 4th quarter singles eventually gave Winnipeg the victory by an 8-6 count.

He won the Grey Cup twice in his 72' & 76' seasons. 1972 Tony won it with Hamilton and 1976 Tony won it with Ottawa Tony was named a Canadian Football League All-Star 8 times in his 10 year career. Tony Gabriel has received almost every award possible for an athlete in the Canadian Football League. In 1974, 1976, 1977, & 1978 Tony Gabriel was voted for Most Outstanding Canadian in the Grey Cup. In 1976 Tony led the Canadian Football League in receiving yards with 1320 yards, then in 1977 with 1362 yards. For a tight-end to lead the Canadian Football League in receiving yards is un-heard of. In 1978 Gabriel was awarded the Most Outstanding Player in the Canadian Football League. Then in 1972 Tony was selected All- East All-Star team for the Canadian Football League. Tony was selected to the All-Canadian All-Star team. Tony was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1985. To top it off Tony was inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. So easy enough to say he is no regular football player, he is one of the best to ever been watched and cheered by adoring fans, he is one of the best to ever graced a Hamilton Tiger - Cats jersey, or an Ottawa Rough Riders jersey.
