Jack Gibson told the media he knew the dogs game plan was to take out the playmaker or most dangerous player - so he told wakefield do not run or get caught the ball. He did.
Career over.
He tried to come back but coulsnt shake the headaches and head issues.

Cement and langmack wore ice hockey shoulder pads.
Folkes. Bugden. Peter kelly.
The refs went into their sheds before a game to examine their arm guards on the forearms as opposing players were complaining they felt like they were being hit with 4 x 2's.
They wanted to know what was under the strapping.

Ellery Hanley. Whats your grand final game plan?
Easy...we wrote it on the back of a postage stamp:
Take hanley out of the game.

The thugs didnt only wear a forward jumper.
Lamb.
Farrar.
Chris mortimer.
Turvey - finished wakefields career and was taken to court by michael oconnor who he ko'd.

Thats enough. I could go on.

The only joy you can take from the glittering 80’s of the bulldogs is that you can tune in to 2SM AM radio and listen to the likes of Hughes and flog Peter Tunks dealing with either half cut or full hammered old dribblers yacking about rubbish.
