RIP Willie Burden, one of the greatest Stamps ever, gone way too early at 64.
The former running back was one of the greatest players in Stampeders history and holds a place of honour on the club's Wall of Fame.
Burden played for Calgary from 1974 to 1981 and still holds the franchise's single-season rushing record of 1,896 yards, which he established in 1975.
"Willie was a great player, a great teammate and a great friend," said Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel, who played with Burden from 1976-79. "He will be sorely missed and I offer condolences to his family."
