An iconic figure on the football field, Coquitlam’s Lui Passaglia was the placekicker/punter with the B.C. Lions for a record-breaking 25-year career (1976-2000).
During that time, he scored more points (3,991) than any other pro football player in history, while playing a record 408 regular season games.
The number of records he holds is many, including best single season field goal percentage (90.9%) — which he did in his final season.
He played on three Grey Cup champions (1985, 1994 and 2000), and is a member of the Canadian Football and B.C. Sports hall of fames.
