Harvey Wylie

Harvey Wylie was an All-Star and HOF defensive back who played with the Calgary Stampeders for nine years from 1956 to 1964.  Wylie won five West All-Stars (1959 to 1963 inclusive) and two CFL All-Stars (1962-63) - the first two years there were CFL All-Stars.  Playing when he did, most players went both ways and while Wylie won his All-Star selections at defensive back, he also saw action in the offensive backfield and returning kicks.  Wylie was especially proficient at returning kickoffs.  He was second in the WEst in kickoff return yards in 1959, then tled the West in tthe following three years.  In all four years, Wylie had kickoff returns over 100 yards for touchdowns. Wylie was nominated by the Stampeders for the Outstanding Canadian Award twice, in 1962 and 1963, and won the award in 1965  Wylie finished with 35 career interceptions, including 10 in 1959 which tied him for the West lead with Kenny Ploen, and 16 fumble recoveries.  Harvey Wylie was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1980.
