There are no photos or documented stories of his actions.

Yet he played a major role in shaping the team91裸聊视频檚 chemistry and culture for many years.

Ask a current Lions player about the legendary Phantom and you91裸聊视频檇 get a quizzical look.

That91裸聊视频檚 what happened last year when myself and Lions colour analyst Guilio Caravatta asked linebacker Jordan Williams if he had heard of The Phantom.

When told of The Phantom and what he had done at Lions training camps over several decades, Williams was even more surprised.

91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檙e joking right?91裸聊视频� Williams replied.

Players today have no clue.

91裸聊视频淪trange things would happen,91裸聊视频� noted Lions legend Lui Passaglia, who handled the kicking duties for the team from 1976 to 2000. 91裸聊视频淎nd of course, all of a sudden nobody knew where The Phantom came from. And who was The Phantom? And why was there a Phantom?

91裸聊视频淚ndividuals were caught off guard by situations that would happen to them and wondering why and who did it. And, of course, the veterans that had been around a while knew that The Phantom was lurking around the corner during training camp or sometimes even during the season. You never knew when he would pop up.91裸聊视频�

Bill Reichelt joined the organization in 1978 and was with Lions as their trainer until his retirement in 2018.

He saw The Phantom make his presence felt at training camp no matter where it was located 91裸聊视频� Kelowna, Abbotsford, Courtenay or Kamloops 91裸聊视频� somehow The Phantom would find a way to get there.

91裸聊视频淥h, where do we start. Personal items would be put in a bag and then filled with water and thrown into the freezer. Equipment would be taped and bound and then hung up from the rafters in a gym or the facility. There would also be times that heat balm would be rubbed into a jock. He91裸聊视频檇 be busy during some camps,91裸聊视频� remembers Reichelt.

Rookies who were disrespectful to veterans or the training staff usually would be the targets, but as Passaglia explained, it only took one message to be delivered for someone to 91裸聊视频榮ee the light91裸聊视频� and fall in line.

During his entire tenure with the Lions, The Phantom was a ghost-like character. Sometimes he would strike at night while on other occasions he would do his work while the players practiced.

There are stories, passed down by the elders, that say that The Phantom had a close rapport with the trainers and the equipment staff while others say that there were a group of veterans who had The Phantom91裸聊视频檚 ear and would give him direction in terms of who to target.

91裸聊视频淣o one ever caught or even got a glimpse of him in action,91裸聊视频� Passaglia says.

Given all the free time kickers have at training camp, some believe that Passaglia himself was The Phantom 91裸聊视频� an accusation he vehemently denies.

91裸聊视频淚t wasn91裸聊视频檛 me,91裸聊视频� he states, 91裸聊视频渂ut putting things together I had a real good idea of who he was.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淎re we on the record?91裸聊视频� he asked.

When informed that he was, Passaglia put a halt to the interview.

Rumors abound when it comes to what The Phantom is doing these days. Unfortunately, none of these reports could be verified.

Wherever The Phantom is, he has a lifetime full of memories 91裸聊视频� and victims - he can look back on.
