Now 59, Browne has been selected for induction into the Blue Bombers Hall of Fame.

“Less Browne was one of the most-dominant defensive backs in Canadian Football League history and a Grey Cup champion, and later served as one of our assistant coaches,” Bombers CEO and president Wade Miller said.

A Canadian Football Hall of Famer since 2002, Browne played five seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before joining the Bombers in 1989.

He had 27 interceptions in 51 games with the Bombers, including a team-record 14 in 1990. At one time he held the league record for interceptions return yards in a season with 273, also set in 1990.
