In 1990, defensive back Joey Camm was one of the best players on an outstanding Beefeater squad that finished in first place in the conference and came within seconds of winning the Ontario Football Conference championship. Tragically, Joey was killed in a motor vehicle accident prior to the end of the season.
In honour of Joey's memory, the team wore #1 patches on the uniforms for the remainder of the season. Later that year, at the team banquet his sweater was retired and a trophy, the Joseph Camm Memorial Trophy, was created to be given to the most valuable defensive player on the London Beefeaters.
