The Toronto Argonauts returned home with the biggest prize in Canadian football Monday evening after their dramatic victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 109th Grey Cup game in Regina on Sunday.
The Grey Cup was carried off the plane by head coach Ryan Dinwiddie and linebacker Henoc Muamba, who was named both the most valuable player and most valuable Canadian of the Grey Cup game.
Then, with less than a minute left to play, Canadian Robbie Smith blocked Winnipeg’s 47-yard field goal attempt which would have given the Blue Bombers the lead. Toronto got the ball at its 14-yard line with 43 seconds remaining and was able to run out the clock for the stunning victory. Muamba, the first-overall pick in the 2011 CFL draft, said this year’s Argos squad is “by far the best team” that he and many of his teammates have ever been a part of.
“I don’t think I should be where I am today. I’m a young boy that was born in Africa and my parents decided to immigrate to Canada… the man you see today, I wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t play the game of football.”
