Angelo Raffin was born in San Lorenzo, Italy where football is that game with the round, black and white ball. An offensive tackle, Raffin played seven games for the Montreal Alouettes in 1970, filling in for an injured Barry Randall and helping the Als to their first Grey Cup victory sine 1949. Offensive linemen don't get their hands on the ball very often, but Raffin did record one kickoff return that season. In 1971, Raffin had a 5 day tryout with the Ottawa Rough Riders, but did not dress for any regular season games with them. Raffin did play one game for the Toronto Argnonauts in later in 1971.
