Tom Wilkinson and Danny Kepley with the Grey Cup after the Eskimos’ 1979 win.

It was Tony Proudfoot, the Als’ defensive back, who improvised a solution that proved key to the Als’ eventual victory. As legend has it, during the pre-game warm-up, with the terrible field conditions already obvious, Proudfoot spotted an electrician working on the sideline set-up, employing a heavy-duty staple gun. He borrowed it, fired a few staples into the end of his cleats, and found that it gave him better traction. Soon enough, nearly all of his teammates followed suit. Montreal beat Edmonton 41–6 in what would become known as the Staples Game.
