Argos defensive tackle Gaydosh to give Grey Cup ring to his father
TORONTO — It’s bold, it’s gaudy and it’s flashy — everything Linden Gaydosh is not.
And that’s why the Toronto Argonauts burly defensive tackle plans to give his 2017 Grey Cup ring to his father, Dave, who played junior football for the Calgary Colts. Gaydosh and his teammates received their stunning championship hardware Friday for their 27-24 upset win over the Calgary Stampeders last November in Ottawa.
“Oh, it’s gorgeous,” Gaydosh said Wednesday following Toronto’s training camp session at York University. “Pictures don’t go it justice, you really have to see it.
“But it’s a little too flashy for my style. I’m a country boy, I don’t have jewelry on me. I think it’s something my dad values more than I do. He’s wanted this for 38 years . . . I’m going to get home and give it to him.”
