It's been almost a year since the passing of legendary football pioneer Ezzrett "Sugarfoot" Anderson. A book about his extraordinary life will be launched on what would have been his 98th birthday.

A celebration of life for former Calgary Stampeders star Ezzrett “Sugarfoot” Anderson will be held on Tuesday.

The six-foot-four Anderson played with Calgary from 1949 until 1955. After his playing days, he remained with the organization as a ticket-account representative and ambassador.
