RIP Ron Canadian Football League legend Ron Lancaster died Thursday morning from an apparent heart attack, less than two months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. He was 69. The former standout quarterback, who also had a long career as a head coach, administrator and television commentator, had been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Lancaster, popular and respected in CFL circles for his integrity and up-front demeanour, survived a battle with cancer in his bladder five years ago. http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2008/09/18/lancaster-death.html

People would drive 200 miles to Regina to see him play football in the 60's. Everyone Loved him. He will always be associated with football and that Province.
