Former Edmonton Eskimo Bob Dean, who starred Edmonton's ''Three-in-a-Row'' Grey Cup winning teams of 1954-56, passed away Thursday.
Dean is best known for kicking the winning convert in the 1954 Grey Cup following Jackie Parker's touchdown return of Chuck Hunsinger's fumble.
He played his college ball at the University of Maryland and spent a season with the Washington Redskins before traveling north to join the Eskimos.
Following his playing career, the Pittsburgh native made Edmonton his home and he went on to a career as a teacher, principal and school administrator. He also served as Chairman of the Edmonton Police Commission.
