Eddie Murray was known as "Steady Eddie" and "Money Murray" through his 19 year pro football career. He was astonishingly consistent in converting point-after touchdown kicks, hitting 258 straight in one stretch, and his coolness under pressure gave the seven National Football League teams on which he played a chance to win tight games. In 1976, his all-around athleticism and kicking ability earned him a scholarship to Tulane University. He broke most of the school's kicking records there and was drafted by the NFL's Detroit Lions in 1980. He had an auspicious NFL beginning as he won the kicking job with the Lions and he led the team with 116 points. He was picked for the Pro Bowl and named MVP after kicking four field goals. Murray was a fixture in Detroit for 12 seasons but at age 35, was far from done. Eddie had a "career year" with Dallas in 1993; amassing a best ever 122 points as he set team records with 28 field goals. He played an integral role as the team rolled to a 30 -13 Super Bowl win over Buffalo. Murray played just three full seasons after that memorable campaign then ended his career with Washington in 2000 by playing in his 250th game. With 1,594 points and a 75.5 field goal percentage, he was sixth all-time best in the NFL.

Gareth Rees truly earned the moniker "all-world" for his exploits on the international rugby stage in the 1980's and 1990's. Not only is he the only player to have suited up for his country in all four rugby World Cup tournaments, he is the most capped Canadian player in history. He is also the country's leading international points scorer and sixth all-time in the world with 493 points. Having received his introduction to rugby at Willows elementary and Saint Michaels University School, Rees captained Canada's national junior team at the age of 17 before playing four seasons at U.Vic. In 1986 he had his first taste of playing for an overseas club in Britain and a year later was the lone non-Brit to play for the professional London Wasps in England's premier league. During a second stint with the team in the 1990's, he helped the Wasps advance to two straight Cup final appearances. He would play or coach professional teams in Europe through the 2002 season. Rees had his first World Cup action for Canada in 1987 at age 19, as one of eight Victoria players in the lineup. Through that and three subsequent appearances in 1991, 1995 and 1999 he helped give his country a high profile on the world rugby stage. Rees went on to make significant contributions in the boardroom as Rugby Canada's CEO.
