Terry Greer, Mervyn Fernandez headline Canadian Football Hall of Fame class of 2019 Globe_Sports
Greer, 61, headlines the 2019 class named for induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday at BMO Field. He joins former Toronto Argonauts teammate Holloway, who entered the hallowed shrine in 1999.
Toronto ended a dubious 31-year championship draught with an exciting 18-17 win over the B.C. Lions in Vancouver. Greer credits Holloway with kick-starting his CFL career . While the ‘83 season remains Greer’s best individually, he cherishes the Grey Cup victory much more. However, he’ll forever remember his teammates’ reaction when he cracked the 2,000-yard plateau.
Greer returned to Canada in ‘96 for one season as a coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He currently lives near Cleveland and works as a manager with Hexagon Industries, which manufactures and imports premium fasteners. Greer was pleasantly surprised to get the call from the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, initially believing he was being punked.“It was unbelievable,” Greer said. “It was one of those things that caught me off guard, but what a huge honour.
Fernandez, 59, played six seasons with B.C. , registering 399 catches for 6,680 yards with 57 TDs. The two-time league all-star was the CFL’s top player in ‘85 , becoming the first Lion to do so.
