Ron Allbright (born c. 1934) was an offensive guard and offensive tackle in the Canadian Football League for the Calgary Stampeders from 1956 to 1967.
After playing junior football for the Calgary Bronks, Ron Allbright joined the Calgary Stampeders in 1956 and played his entire career with them until 1967.[1] In 12 years, Allbright played in all regular season games 10 times, missing 2 in 1956 and 1961 and recovered 8 fumbles. He was part of a unit that led the league in scoring in 1963, 1964, 1965, and 1967. For his achievements, he was named to the Stampeders' Wall of Honor in 2014.[2][3] “Badger,” Allbright was primarily an offensive lineman but played on both sides of the ball during his 12-year career with the Stampeders. He was the franchise’s all-time leader in games played upon his retirement in 1967 and his total of 188 regular-season contests held up as the Stamps’ all-time high until 1972 when he was passed by longtime teammate Larry Robinson. He played 26 more games in the playoffs. Allbright is a local product, having attended Western Canada High School and played for the Calgary Bronks juniors.[2]
