Stegall breaks all-time TD record as Blue Bombers roll

Jan 9, 2008 - 5:20 PM WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Ticker) -- Milt Stegall set a new league record with his 138th career touchdown as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers coasted to a 36-18 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday.

Stegall broke the record in the second quarter, when he caught an one-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Glenn as the Blue Bomber grabbed a 14-6 advantage with 8:17 remaining.

"These fans have supported not only me but this organization, and the fact that they've been coming out here and supporting us and selling out the stadium for all the home games, it's amazing," Stegall said after a thunderous ovation.

Following the historic milestone, Stegall was presented with the game ball by CFL chief operating officer Michael Copeland and chairman of the Blue Bombers Board of Directors Ken Hildahl.

Stegall, who he is just 898 yards from surpassing Allen Pitts as the CFL all-time receiver, has spent his entire 13-year career with Winnipeg.

Glenn completed 21-of-27 passes for 289 yards with two touchdowns.
