Winnipeg Blue Bombers News Release
WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Football Club's annual Legacy Dinner is just around the corner, slated to be held on June 18th, 2012 at Canad Inns Polo Park at 7:00 p.m., where recently retired Blue Bomber defensive lineman Doug Brown along with former Presidents of the WFC, Ken Matchett and Reg Low will be inducted into the Blue Bomber Hall of Fame in 2012. The evening will also highlight a hot stove period with former Bomber defensive coordinator Greg Marshall and legendary slotback Milt Stegall.
Matchett and Low each spent two years as President of the Winnipeg Football Club, Matchett from 1986-1987 and Low from 1994-1995. While overseeing all areas of the organization, both men also volunteered their time on numerous committees and still work closely with the WFC on various projects.
Brown recently retired from an 11-year CFL career, all with the Blue Bombers. He finished his career in second place on the Blue Bombers' all-time tackles list with 429 and in third place on the team's all-time quarterback sack list with 52. A seven-time All-Star, Brown played in 188 career games and was honoured as the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian in 2001.
Blue Bombers players, coaches and management will be on hand and a silent auction will also be held with great prizes including a trip to the 2012 Grey Cup.
For more information on how to purchase tickets to the dinner, fans can call the Blue Bomber office at 784-2583.
