    Would anyone have such a hard time making a list of a top 5 in another pro league? I highly doubt it. I'm not even sure that I have ever encountered meeting 5 athletes from another league.

    In no particular order:

    Carl Brazley
    Leon McQuay
    Terry Greer
    Eric Harris
    Paul Masotti (or "Paul Mastoid", according to the spell-checker)

    Essentially, I really cannot choose just five players: it's too painful not including Eric Allen, Jim Stillwagon, Jim Corrigall, Darrel K. Smith, Don Moen, Mike Eben, Granville Liggans, Mel Profit, Marv Luster, Paul Pearson, Doyle Orange, Condredge Holloway, Doug Flutie, Michael Clemons, ... and so many other wonderful Argos.

    I like this thread because it's a list of everyone's favourite players and not just skilled. I'm a 90's guy, so my list is heavy influenced by that era.

    Michael Clemons is the most likable athlete of all time. Even my Grandmother liked him. Now my next five in order.

    2. Mike O'Shea - His rookie season, he was the only Ti-Cat to stay post game and give this Argo fan an autograph. The way he played. Make a drive ending tackle, then be first downfield on ST.
    3. Paul Masotti - I always tried to copy his signature hook pattern when playing myself. He had a cottage near my home on Lake Erie.
    4. Matt Dunigan - Was a true warrior. All iced up and won us a Cup. Once asked me for a Toronto Sun while he was headed to his Cudas bus. I happily obliged and he stopped to sign all my stuff before he got on.
    5. Byron Parker - Always made the clutch play. An emotional and proud Argonaut. All around great guy.
    6. Doug Flutie - I appreciated his talent more than anything. Not very likable and a little arrogant, but he came to play every single down.

    7. Honorable mentions go to Don Moen, Chris Schultz, Adrian Smith, Noel Prefontaine, Andre Durie and Chad Owens.
