Win or lose, Wally Buono could walk away from Saturday night’s game at McMahon Stadium knowing he’s a winner. That was Buono’s most important contribution during his 41 years of playing, coaching and GMing in the CFL, says Calgary football legend Stan Schwartz. “Whether they’re with the Stampeders or the Lions or whoever, I thank them for their contributions to the Canadian Football League. “And Wally certainly personifies the true passion for our great league.”Schwartz certainly knows Buono well having shared in helping mould the Stampeders into the juggarnaut it is today. “I certainly consider it an honour and a privilege to have worked with Wally,” Schwartz said.
