• Ed Kotowich Good Guy Award – Vernon Pahl, 1987

He Wore It Well:

Vernon Pahl, LB, FB 1980-85, 1987-88

Vernon Pahl did two tours of duty with the Bombers and has a couple of Grey Cup championships – 1984, 1988 – to show for it. A third-round pick of the club in 1980 out of the University of Prince Edward Island, Pahl was a solid utility player during his eight years in Winnipeg. Later during his career, he switched from linebacker to fullback, and in addition to serving the community as the inaugural winner of the Ed Kotowich Good Guy Award, Pahl spent some of his offseasons selling advertising for the football club.

FYI:

An offensive end, Al Ackland was a Winnipeg product coming out of the Weston Wildcats program, who played two games in 1961 before his release. He then took the team to court because, as a territorial exemption, was prevented from joining another team. He would later surface in Edmonton.

Notable:

Troy Westwood, the Bombers all-time leading scorer and hall of famer, began his career wearing #74 before switching to #7. We singled him out at #7.
