Angelo Mosca, terror of the CFL in the Sixties and early Seventies, has died aged 84.

Tough as nails, a rep as a dirty player, winner in five Grey Cups, pro wrestler, and even at age 74, not afraid of getting into a rumble with another CFL veteran, Joe Kapp, whacking Kapp with his cane before falling off the dais.

Sad news. He was the toughest player on the football field, and a formidable wrestler.
