Goodbye Argos Leo Leo Cahill With Scott Young, Hardcover, 1973, includes photos,, some creases and tear on dj edges.
Here is Leo Cahill's own story of the six years
he spent as head coach oaf the Toronto Argo-
nauts-of the on-field action and off-field con-
niving, of the way he changed he laughing-
stock of the C.F.L. into a powerhouse contender
for the Grey Cup.
Here too is the most candid and explicit
outline ever given of how the C.F.L. works-the
deals and misdeals, the plays, ploys, the re-'.
cruiting techniques.
~''~Here is Leo on the C.F.L. ("the structure of `,
' the league and rules encourage trickery"), on
the players he coached (Mel Profit "gage the
impression he felt football was a game for
thugs"), and the people he worked for (John
Bassett "wore power like some men wear a
suit").
In Goodbye Argos, Cahill goes both ways, rip-
ping the lid off Canadian football, passing out
barbs and bouquets, telling what he did and
why. To write this book he has joined forces
with one of the best sportswriters in Canada-
Scott Young of The Globe and Mail. Together
they put the reader in the dressing-room and
onthe field with personalities like JimjI'rimble,
Sam Etcheverry, Norm $toneburgh,lVlel Profit,
Bobby Taylor, and Leon McQuay.
