Gordon William Ramsey Memorial

As far back as everybody can remember and I apologize if I do not get all the history correct, Gord started playing rugby for the Toronto Saracens back in 1961. In fact Colin remembers that Gord was a Life Member of the Saracens before Colin joined in 1965, as Gord helped the club financially to get well established in the Rugby community at that time. Gord may have been the first Canadian-born player to play for the Saracens. Skip Ellis remembers that Gord and his brother Gerry, plus Glen Hamilton and Lorne Fisher all went to Danforth Tech, probably around 1961. Knowing all those guys they were probably at Danforth Tech for 6 or 7 years…..Gord and his brother may have played a few years for Balmy Beach before joining the Saracens.
