About Kaye Vaughan

Charles Kaye Vaughan (June 30, 1931 – February 5, 2023) was an American-born Canadian professional football player, a lineman with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) for twelve seasons. He won the CFL's Outstanding Lineman Award in 1956 and 1957 and is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. In the 1960 Grey Cup championship game with Ottawa leading Edmonton 9-6, he scored the only touchdown of his career to close the scoring (when converted) after recovering a fumbled punt. As a lineman he normally did not carry the ball or score points. Inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1978, Vaughan was voted 41st on the CFL's top 50 players in a poll conducted by Canadian sports network TSN, one of a few players from the 1950s who was included. She was a double world champion in downhill and giant slalom in 1958 and won the Lou Marsh Trophy. Wheeler also won a bronze medal in downhill at the 1956 Winter Olympics and is a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame.
