Life
Ian attended Burlington Central High School from 1968 to 1971. Ian had emigrated from Scotland, where he had a strong background in soccer. Ian was encouraged by teachers, Bob Godley and Dale Parker to try-out for the football team as a kicker. This led to him playing for two years on the junior "Colts" team throughout grade nine and ten.
Throughout his senior high school years Ian played for the local Burlington Braves football club for coach Bernie Custis, who Ian describes as being the most influential person in his development towards professional football. In 1972, Ian began a 9-year professional football career in both the Canadian Football League and the National Football League. That first year with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, his 34-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter enabled his team to beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders led by quarterback Ron Lancaster by a score of 13-10.
Following his retirement from professional football, Ian became involved in local amateur sports as both a coach and manager. He has coached the Burlington Braves football team, Burlington minor soccer, and Burlington minor hockey teams, in an attempt to give back to the community that he feels has done so much for him. Ian currently owns and operates an athletic equipment store at Appleby Ice Centre in Burlington, Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Modernism: the books are as hard to understand as life itself.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I don’t like your miserable lonely single “front name.” It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
