He Wore It Well: Greg Battle, LB  1987-93, 1997-98

Greg Battle, simply put, walked softly and carried a big hit during his two tours with the Bombers. Seldom heard off the field on a defence that included the likes of Tyrone Jones, James West, Rod Hill, Less Browne and others, Battle did all of his talking between the white lines. An exceptional athlete, Battle was a ferocious hitter, but quick enough to drop into pass coverage and when the ball was in his hands as slithery as a running back. He finished his career third on the CFL’s all-time tackles list with 766. His work in the 1990 Grey Cup – where he had four tackles and two interceptions, one of which was returned 56 yards for a touchdown – was one of the greatest defensive performances in CFL history. Battle left the Bombers in 1994 for the expansion Las Vegas Posse and then bounced to the Ottawa Rough Riders, Memphis Mad Dogs and Saskatchewan Roughriders before finishing his career in Winnipeg.

FYI: 

Greg Kabat was already a noted star in Wisconsin before he joined the Winnipeg Football Club in 1933, having captained the University of Wisconsin football team in 1932 and being the first player in school history to be a three-time first-team All-Big Ten selection while also being named an All-American in the discus. Kabat could play a number of positions – he was a West all-star at flying wing in 1938, at guard in 1939 and at quarterback in 1940 — doubled as a line coach in his first season with Winnipeg. He helped the ‘Winnipegs’ become the first western team to capture the Grey Cup in 1935 and then again in 1939.

After retiring he coached at the high-school level before becoming the head coach with the UBC Thunderbirds.

Notable:

Bud Korchak played both flying wing and kicker for his hometown Bombers and had two of the best nicknames in club history as he was known as ‘Golden Toe’ and the ‘Ukranian Gazelle.’ He was an all-star three times and finished his career with the Ottawa Rough Riders and Calgary Stampeders.
