Notes

This volume chronicles the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ successes, failures, and fan base from the club’s inception in 1910 as the “Regina Rugby Club” (initially planned to be a rowing club) through its first Grey Cup victory in 1966 (defeating the Ottawa Rough Riders) to its difficulties in the 1970s and early 1980s. The authors craft a narrative both detailed and readable, mixing rosters, trades, and score lines with colorful anecdotes and humor. Throughout, the volume emphasizes the role of Saskatchewan Roughriders fans (rather than just the club’s coaches, stars, or owners) as an integral feature of football in the province. Includes year-by-year league standings, award recipients and team/league record-holders, lists of Saskatchewan Junior athletes who played for the club, a list of “Miss Saskatchewan Roughrider” from 1951-1983, and an index.
