Fantastic! What a great idea.

Get Ricky Kennedy on to tell us about his cheeky phsyical work on his opponents.

You could also get supporters to write in their story of growing up a Doggies supporter and read one each week - I don't think our own journey's are recognised enough.

PS: can we get audio only as well so I can listen & subscribe on my podcast app?

We have Rick in our sights. Will ask him which players he could sense fear when they saw him.

What did people think of Dougie's appraisal of The Bont?!

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

What did people think of Dougie's appraisal of The Bont?!

I think he actually undersold him saying he might be in the top 6 or 7... but I can only remember as far back as 1983.

 

[King Harold]

The great Hawk !
still think he is the most talented Bulldog I have seen.
Bont ,Dempsey and KT not far behind.

He played in an era when there were many great wingman around the league , but he was as good as any.

I think he actually undersold him saying he might be in the top 6 or 7... but I can only remember as far back as 1983.

Doug is a savvy judge - I think he has EJ, Dempsey, Templeton, Grant and West right up there and Bont hot on their heels. It's pretty good company. Did you hear what he predicted about the Bont to end that segment?

Like listening to the old timers in the background

Watch Doug in the quiz in the last five mins of the interview. He's pretty handy with Bulldog general knowledge!! See how many you can answer compared to him!
