Ray Nettles Game Worn CFL Jersey
Buying Game Worn Jerseys
I love the CFL, and I’m always interested in buying game worn jerseys. I was recently contacted by someone who used to work the for the B.C. Lions back in the 1970s. I met with him and purchased a Ray Nettles game worn jersey (circa 1975) and a really old team jacket! Items like this are highly sought after, and I’m always excited when I get the chance to buy them. If you have any game used professional sports equipment from the CFL, NFL, NHL, NBA or MLB, please contact me as I would love to see it, and probably make you an offer too!
Game Worn Ray Nettles Jersey
For those of you unfamiliar with the late Ray Nettles, here’s a little more information about his pro football career:
The Miami Dolphins drafted him in 1972, but he chose the CFL because they offered twice as much money and the opportunity to play immediately. At Miami, he would have competed for a starting job against All-Pro linebacker Nick Buoniconti. Nettles was quoted in a 1999 Florida Times-Union article, “It’s not like I was afraid to play in the NFL. I could have had success there, but I already waited my turn behind Jack Reynolds at Tennessee, and I didn’t want to do that again. I wanted to prove myself right away.
Nettles began playing for the BC Lions in 1972 and was named to the All-Star team his first year. In his second year, he won the 1973 CFL’s Most Outstanding Lineman Award and was again named to the All-Star team. He remained with the Lions through the 1976 season, then played for the Toronto Argonauts in 1977, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1978, the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1979, and the Calgary Stampeders in 1980. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2005. [Wikipedia]
