Grey Cup Classics

Since 1952, fans of Canadian football have made it a yearly tradition to sit down with friends and family and watch the Grey Cup game.

Over the decades, some of those Grey Cup broadcasts have become part of Canadian football folklore ... the Fog Bowl of 1962 ... Tony Gabriel's game-winning catch in 1976 ... the Snow Bowl in 1996.

As part of our Grey Cup Week celebration, CBC Sports will be showing five classic Grey Cup games. We'll be showing one from each decade from the 1950s through to the end of the 1990s.

Do you think you know what makes a Grey Cup Game a classic? Make your choice for each decade and tune in starting Monday, November 13 to see if your favourite game is this season's "Grey Cup Classic."
