Mr. Blake was a remarkably talented soccer player.
His intensity, dedication, fitness, and leadership were qualities
displayed on the soccer field as well as throughout his career as a
businessman. Mr. Blake played for the Cougars from 1969 to 1972 and
in 1970 was a Division I All-American. From SIUE, Mr. Blake went on
to play for the Pan-American Soccer Team in 1971 and the U.S.
Olympic Team in 1972. He is a member of the SIUE Athletics Hall of

In 1997, his friend and teammate Tim Tighe, and his wife, Lynn, spearheaded the start of the Jack Blake Award, given annually to the player who most personified the type of player and person that was Jack Blake. Below is the list of past recipients. |
