WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will add former coach and general manager Cal Murphy to the club’s Ring of Honour on July 30.
Murphy, who died in 2012, helped guide Winnipeg to three Grey Cup championships during his tenure with the club from 1983-96, winning one as head coach and two as GM. He was twice named the CFL’s coach of the year.
He will be honoured at halftime when the Blue Bombers host the B.C. Lions at Princess Auto Stadium.
The Winnipeg-born Murphy finished his CFL career with nine Grey Cup championships, including five as a member of Edmonton’s coaching staff and one as an assistant coach in Montreal.
He was inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2004.
A statue of Murphy was unveiled outside the stadium in 2017, and the club’s annual Cal Murphy Heart of a Legend Award has been presented since 2001.
