A member of the Toronto Argonauts’ All-Time Roster, Toogood was the Argo’s halfback and kick returner from 1950 to 1954. During his time with the CFL team, he not only earned accolades for turning two punts for touchdowns in one game – with no blocking – but he also established Ryerson University’s football team, serving as both athletic director and coach.
In 1960, Toogood joined the staff at Burnamthorpe Collegiate Institute, and later Etobicoke Collegiate Institute, as a physical education and health teacher, and coach. He is now retired from teaching.
In addition to the annual inductees, the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame also present two young local athletes with scholarships each year. The 2010 winners are Robert MacFarlane and Shea Seale, both for Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School.
