But his broad beam and durability made It apparent early that football was his game. We had him on one of our Junior teams and soon he was up on the line alongside us at Beaches.

He starred somehow on his one good leg but that was Just about the end of his football playing days.

Turning to coaching, he helped Inspector Charley Greenwood with his Norwsy Beaver boys clubs.
