From Roughriders to Rough RidersSourced
His next team name looked almost identical to his last one.
In 1984 Canadian football player Pieter Vanden Bos was traded to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, then moved without playing a game for them to the Ottawa Rough Riders that October. The league really had two separate clubs with almost the same name.
The space in the name did a lot of work.
