He Wore It Well:
John Stroppa, HB, 1949-51
A Winnipeg product who played his amateur football with the Elmwood Bombers, Stroppa joined the Bombers in 1949 and made an immediate impact by winning the first-ever Dr. Beattie Martin Trophy – awarded to the top Canadian Rookie in the West Division and named after the former president of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Stroppa played in the 1950 Grey Cup – the infamous ‘Mud Bowl’ – but had his career cut short after suffering a kidney injury in 1951. He would move to Edmonton after his playing days and begin a career as an official, officiating 250 games over 15 years and then serving as the CFL’s Director of officiating for another 11.
