Time has apparently stood still since Bobby Jurasin and Dave Ridgway shared in the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ 1989 Grey Cup championship.

The two Canadian Football Hall of Famers shared such a sentiment while in Regina on Tuesday, nearly 30 years after the Riders beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 43-40 in the CFL’s 77th championship game.

“It seems like yesterday,” Jurasin said before an autograph session at the Riders’ Mosaic Stadium Store.

“Then I look in the mirror and yesterday has been gone a long time. My wife and I couldn’t believe that I was coming up here to talk to about the 30th year since we won the Grey Cup. I told her that I thought it was yesterday and it’s unreal.”

Ridgway’s 35-yard field goal with two seconds remaining clinched the second Grey Cup championship for the Riders. The field goal is still remembered fondly by Rider Nation.

“I turned 60 last week and it’s half a lifetime away now,” said Ridgway, who spent 14 seasons with the Riders. “It’s very nice to be back and very flattering to be remembered after so long.”
