If you are a Canadian football stats nut, then this over-sized catalogue is for you. Whether you want to know the largest regular season game attendance record of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the most passes caught in a season by a Calgary receiver, the medical staff of the B.C. Lions, or the May 5th, 1987, pre-training camp roster of the now defunct Montreal Alouettes, you can find the answer in this CFL production celebrating the 75th Grey Cup Championship.

The text is divided into sections on Clubs, Players, Awards/1986 Stats, Hall of Fame/Regular Season Records, Grey Cup Records/Play-off Records, Rules, CFL Draft and 1987 CFL Schedule. The good index allows ready access to the mounds of information in each section.

Even though much of the information in the book will soon be dated, school librarians should consider purchasing this item as a reference source on Canadian football.
