Randy Ferbey (retiredcurler) has been named the Greatest Canadian Male Third of all-time after earning 16 of 31 first-place votes. Brier2019 Curling BestCurlers MORE:
The"Years" column is the range of seasons from their first gold medal at an Olympics/Worlds/Brier to their last. If they're still active, the second year will be 2019.In eight career Brier appearances, Randy Ferbey has six gold medals and one silver. This terrific winning percentage is likely one of the main reasons why Ferbey has been voted as one of the best Canadian thirds of all time.
In fact, Ferbey missed out on the Brier all together through the next decade until he formed what would be known as the famous Ferbey Four. Ferbey, David Nedohin, who threw skip stones as the fourth, second Scott Pfeifer and lead Marcel Rocque became one of the first competitive teams to use the altered lineup system and it’s safe to say it worked for them.
With his last world championship victory in 2005, Ferbey joined the likes of Ernie, Arnold and Sam Richardson as the only curlers with four world titles. The new role worked perfectly as Morris quickly became one of the best throwers in the game with the pressures of skip vanquished. Morris captured his first Brier in 2008 all while suffering through a broken finger on his right hand that forced him to sport a brace while sweeping. Team Martin went a perfect 11-0 that week in Winnipeg and Morris was named MVP after throwing 90 per cent in the final.
The Canmore resident returned to nationals in 2015, this time skipping the first ever Team Canada rink after Kevin Koe left in the off-season for other opportunities. Much like his first shift to vice way back in 2006, Morris and company made the bold decision to switch positions mid-week following a trying 2-3 start. Pat Simmons took over as skip while Morris played third. The move worked well to say the very least.
