Steinauer, Lawrence remember Mosca, a mainstay at Tiger-Cats practice
Hamilton head coach Orlondo Steinauer always knew when legendary former Tiger-Cat Angelo Mosca was in the building.
The Hall of Fame defensive lineman’s wife, Helen, announced Saturday that Mosca had died after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 84. He returned to Hamilton in 1963 and remained with the Ticats until his retirement after the club’s home Grey Cup win over Saskatchewan in 1972. Long after his playing days, Mosca was a fixture in Hamilton and often attended Ticats practices and games. His gregarious, outgoing personality, thunderous laugh and approachability always made him a fan favourite.“He was the godfather to us,” Lawrence said. “I remember him at practice always sitting there with his buddies and he’d always be like, ‘Hey, No. 21 [Lawrence’s jersey number], come here, come here, come here.
Steinauer was a defensive back with the Ticats and earned a Grey Cup ring with the club in 1999. He served as Hamilton’s defensive co-ordinator before heading to Fresno State in 2017, only to return to the franchise in 2018 and become head coach the next year.
