CFLdb remembers the
20 individuals that left us
in
1975. This page includes all individuals in the database who are known to have passed away in
1975 no matter what team or league affiliation or role they had. This includes individuals that
are not associated with official CFL history. All had
a contribution to the history of our game, and we acknowledge and remember them here.
We regret all errors that appear on the site, but errors of incorrectly reporting an individual's death,
in dates or names, or missing an individual are distressing. If you find such an error,
please report them so they may be corrected. We apologize
to any affected by errors and omissions.
