Just read that Hal Patterson, one of the greatest CFL players ever, passed away to-day at age 79.

Anyone else remember "Prince Hal" ?

Cheers

One of my favorite players. I wore his Allouette number by choice in football and met him later in life through his charity work. He was a humble talented gentleman.
 
He was before my time but I saw replays of him and Sam "The Rifle" Echeverry(sp). Did he go back to a small town in the American heartland when he retired?

R.I.P.
 
I grew up in Montreal and was a little kid when he was traded to Hamilton. My mother was devastated...lol. I lived a few doors down from Perry Moss, who was the Allouettes' coach. Thought Mom was going to clock him for trading her favourite.
CFL was a big deal back then and Prince Hal was a great 2-way player.
