He Wore It Well:
Dave Raimey, DB, RB, 1965-69
We are saluting Raimey at #25, even though he switched to #27 after his rookie season (he also wore #10 for half a game in October of 1966 after having his 27 jersey ripped). A star at Michigan, Raimey was a ninth-round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns in 1963 but opted to sign with the Bombers. A shoulder injury caused him to miss the ’63 season, and in ’64 he made the Browns before coming back to Canada. Raimey joined the Bombers at the end of their Glory Days, appearing in the 1965 Grey Cup ‘Wind Bowl’ loss and was a divisional all-star in each of his years in Winnipeg before being traded during the ’69 season to Toronto for quarterback Wally Gabler. Raimey’s first year as a Bomber was outstanding, as he rushed for 1,052 yards – and an 8.1-yard average – caught 20 passes and led the West Division in kickoff returns.
FYI:
Many Bomber fans remember Ray Jauch as the team’s head coach from 1978-82, during those days when Dieter Brock filled the skies with passes, but the club just couldn’t get past the Edmonton Eskimos dynasty of the same time. Jauch also played for the Bombers in 1960-61. Like so many others of that era, including fellow Iowa alumnus Ken Ploen, Jauch came to the Bombers rather than signing with the Buffalo Bills of the AFL, who had drafted him.
A running back and defensive back, Jauch was part of the 1961 Grey Cup championship side, but suffered a torn Achilles in that game that ended his career. He would begin his coaching career at Iowa, then headed to Edmonton – he was the CFL’s Coach of the Year in 1970 and led the Esks to the 1973 Grey Cup – followed by stops in Winnipeg, the Washington Federals of the USFL before returning to coach with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 1990s.
Notable:
Ken Charlton played only the 1942 season with the Bombers, but is a legend in Saskatchewan. He is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and the Roughrider Plaza of Honour. He was an all-star with the Regina Roughriders in 1941 and after joining the Royal Canadian Air Force he was stationed in Winnipeg and opted to join the Bombers.
