Dale West played seven years in the CFL (1962-68), all with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mainly known as a defensive back where he won three West All-Stars (1963, 1964 and 1965), West also did some ball carrying, caught passes, returned punts and acted as the team's emergency punter. West's offensive contributions early in his career might come as a surprise to some, but he had 13 catches in his rookie season in 1962 and antother 5 in 1963. 18 career catches might not sound too impressive, but West scored touchdowns on six of them which meant that one third of the passes he caught went for touchdowns. West had 17 career interceptions with far and away his best year coming in 1963 when his 10 interceptions led the West. West was also a member of the fabled 1966 Saskatchewan team that won the first Grey Cup in Rider history.
