Mickey McFall got his start in football playing with several crack teams at the Montreal Catholic High School, where he was a star on the line. On graduating high school, Mickey enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy, and played on the Navy fteam that won the Grey Cup in 1944. McFall served overseas with the Fleet Air Arm, and returned home to play with the Montreal Hornets in 1945 (the Hornets were the predecessors of the Alouettes in the Big Four). Based upon his athletic ability, McFall was selected for a football scholarship in the USA at the North Carolina State university following the 1945 season. McFall stayed at North Carolina for one semester before returning to Montreal and playing all six games for the Alouettes in their inaugeral season in 1946. Concurrent with his football, McFall boxed in the Golden Glove finals (heavyweight) and captained a water polo team that won the Quebec Provincial title. McFall was also an All-Star in the Montreal Senior Basketball League. McFall didn't neglect his education either, as he obtained a B.Comm degree at university in Montreal. Michael McFall passed away on April 19, 2011.
