Angelo Mosca

CFL career

Mosca attended the University of Notre Dame and was drafted by the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles in 1959 in the 30th round (350th overall.) He had already decided to play in the CFL, in 1958 and 1959 for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He was traded to the Ottawa Rough Riders for Hardiman Cureton on August 15, 1960, and played for the Rough Riders in 1960 and 1961 before joining the Montreal Alouettes in 1962. He played his remaining years, 1963 to 1972 in Hamilton. He was a 5-time all star. At Hamilton, Mosca played at left defensive tackle, with John Barrow (Canadian football) next to him from 1958 to 1959 and from 1963 to 1970, forming a veritable wall up the middle against which few offensive teams were successful in running against it.

Angelo played in 9 Grey Cup games, more than any other player in CFL history, tied with John Barrow (Canadian football), winning 5, one with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the 48th Grey Cup of 1960, and four with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the 51st Grey Cup of 1963, the 53rd Grey Cup of 1965 (the so-called Wind Bowl), the 55th Grey Cup of 1967 when Saskatchewan was throttled 24-1, and the 60th Grey Cup of 1972 when the defences predominated in a 13-10 win over Saskatchewan again, but also losing 4, the 46th Grey Cup of 1958, the 47th Grey Cup of 1959, the 49th Grey Cup of 1961, and the 52nd Grey Cup of 1964. He is famous (or more aptly infamous) for the 51st Grey Cup game out-of-bounds and late hit on B.C. Lions star running back Willie Fleming. The hit was considered by many to be a deliberate attempt to knock Fleming out of the game. With Fleming out of the game, the Tiger-Cats went on to win the Grey Cup and Angelo Mosca's reputation as being the meanest professional football player was solidified. It was a reputation he later promoted as the notorious professional wrestler "King Kong" Mosca.
