HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will add Canadian Football Hall of Famers Mike Walker and Bernie Custis to the team’s Wall of Honour this season.
The two will be honoured Oct. 4 at halftime of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats home game versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Walker appeared in 108 games over eight seasons with Hamilton (1982-89), helping the franchise win the 1986 Grey Cup. He posted the third-most sacks in franchise history (82) and 11th all-time. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
Custis was a pro football pioneer, becoming the first Black quarterback in the sport’s modern era with Hamilton in 1951. He appeared in 50 games over four seasons with the Ticats (1951-54), earning all-star nods at quarterback (1951) and running back (1954), helping pave the way for the likes of Warren Moon and Chuck Ealey to play quarterback in Canada.
