Frank Rigney was a Hall of Fame offensive tackle who played ten years in the CFL, all for Winnipeg, from 1958 to 1967. Rigney won seven West Division All-Stars (1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1965 and 1966) and three CFL All-Stars (1962, 1965 and 1966). Since CFL All-Stars only started in 1962, so Rigney might well have won a few more if they had been around earlier. Rigney was named the Outstanding Lineman in 1961 which is a very good sign of his ability as back then the offensive linemen had to share a single award with their defensive counterparts. As a member of the Bombers, Rigney won four Grey Cups (1958, 1959, 1961 and 1962). After retiring, Rigney had a successful career in insurance and remained involved in the CFL, working as a color commentator on CFL games for the CBC and CTV. Frank Rigney was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1984. Wikipedia Article on Frannk Rignery
