HOME OF THE MCMASTER MARAUDERS

Football Teams of the Decade

McMaster Football began selecting teams of decades in 1995, when an all-star team of players from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s was unveiled. Four subsequent decade teams were honoured in the following years, providing well-earned recognition to Marauder alumni and also affording an opportunity for honourees and their teammates to reunite to renew friendships. With the dawn of the new century, the Friends of Marauder Football unveiled the team of the century, consisting of the 24 best players from the decade teams. The McMaster teams of decades honour some of the finest football players to suit up for the Marauders since Mac moved to Hamilton.
