Doug Falconer has chased one dream after another. That’s his life story. Dream it. Live it.There have been setbacks, but the free-spirited Falconer is a survivor, bouncing back from rejections and a massive heart attack that should have killed him in 2000.
It’s been a charmed life, a Happily Ever After script that included dating a Miss Grey Cup, a Cosmopolitan cover girl and a Playboy playmate before settling into a 30-year marriage to ex-wife Louise — they’ve got two daughters, Taber and Quinn.From a young age, Falconer wanted to be a football player.
He won a Vanier Cup with the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees in 1975 and, the next year, a Grey Cup with the Ottawa Rough Riders.
