THE Winnipeg Blue Bombers are welcoming two more icons to their Hall of Fame.

The club announced Friday offensive lineman Dave Mudge and former assistant GM Paul Jones will be inducted into their shrine during the 103rd Grey Cup Festival in November.

Mudge joined the Bombers in 2000 after beginning his career with the Toronto Argonauts and was the CFL Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2001. He was twice named a CFL all-star during his days with the Bombers and lauded for his durability and technique while manning the tackle position. He was active in the community before retirement and has since moved to Montreal, where he works on the Alouettes radio broadcasts.

“I’m thrilled about it,” Mudge told a conference call on Friday. “When I heard the news, it certainly wasn’t something I was expecting. I’m humbled by it.”

Jones is credited with discovering two of the greatest Bombers of all-time — receiver Milt Stegall and defensive end Elfrid Payton.
