John Alexander Denman (1901 – February 26, 1958) was a Grey Cup champion and all-star Canadian football player, playing from 1923 to 1933 with the Hamilton Tigers.[1]
A graduate of Woodstock College[2] Denman went on to have an all-star 11 year football career with the Tigers. Selected 4 times as an all-star and the winner of 3 Grey Cups, his best season was 1932 when, in addition to his all-star, he won the Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy as outstanding player in the east.[3] Denman was part of an inquiry by the Director of Dental Services for Ontario, and he reported having lost 3 teeth playing football.[4] He later worked as a district representative for a cigarette company, and died in Sudbury in 1958.[5][6]
