Pat Clayton, who served the Stampeders for nearly three decades, will be honoured during a halftime ceremony at Saturday’s game.

In April, Clayton retired after 29 years as the Red and White’s Director of Medical Services and 36 years in the Canadian Football League. Clayton joined the Stampeders in 1984 after previously serving as athletic therapist for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

During his time in Calgary, Clayton treated hundreds of players — including 10 members of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame — and the Stampeders won four Grey Cup titles.

He also spent nine years as head therapist at Royal Military College and Queen’s University.
