The life lasted 97 years.

“I think,’’ says author Daryl Slade, “what’s really interesting about Sugarfoot is the variety of his interests and achievements.

“The football is a big part of it, yes, but there’s so much more to the story.”

The pioneer in black players integrating into the game, alongside pals Woody Strode, Kenny Washington and a pre-baseball Jackie Robinson.


The part-time Hollywood actor.

The six-seasons spent in Calgary Stampeders red and white after being coaxed to Canada by Les Lear.

The jazz musician/bandleader. The disc jockey, turning Calgary on to R&B on station CKXL in the early-to-mid ’50s.

The service station owner. The heavy-machinery mechanic. The aging yet spry oracle overseeing countless practices at McMahon Stadium.

The icon.

The man who ventured north to catch a few footballs and stayed over half a lifetime.

It’s all here.

When Ezzrett (Sugarfoot) Anderson passed away on March 8, 2017, an entire city – the vast majority not old enough to remember No. 00 latching onto passes – felt the loss.

With full co-operation of the Anderson family, the independently-published “Sugarfoot” was launched Saturday at Nick’s Steakhouse, across from Sugar’s old football haunt, McMahon Stadium.
