The 74th Grey Cup was the 1986 Canadian Football League championship game that was played at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Edmonton Eskimos.

Losers of the previous two Grey Cups, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats gave their long suffering fans something to celebrate with an unexpected dominant performance over the Edmonton Eskimos.

Hamilton's defence, which was led by Grover Covington and Ben Zambiasi, sacked Edmonton quarterbacks' Matt Dunigan and Damon Allen a total of 10 times.

The Tiger-Cats then got a big play from their special teams when Mark Streeter blocked Tom Dixon's punt attempt, which Jim Rockford recovered for another touchdown.

The Eskimos finally got on the scoreboard late in the third quarter courtesy of a blocked punt by Larry Wruck which Craig Shaffer recovered at the Hamilton 37.

Osbaldiston added his sixth field goal, a 47-yarder in the game's final minute on what was an already decisive Grey Cup win.

Paul Osbaldiston's (the Grey Cup Most Valuable Canadian) six field goals tied Montreal Alouettes' Don Sweet's record, set in 1977.
