    Susie, could you pass onto the "other" Susan how much all Bulldog members love and respect her. I personally believe she belongs in the Hall of Fame. I read that in the future people other than players can be eligible, so while I'm at it David Smorgan as well.

    Old Bulldog, unless I'm mistaken believe it may have been the 'other' Susan talking in the 3rd person.

    Thanks Doc26, I knew that was just keeping the "mystique".

    Has anyone read The Bulldog Heritage book?

    I am interested if anyone could review this and mention some of the players who contribute to it?

    Thanks...

    My parents have the book and I have had just a brief look, it looks great and I can't wait to have a good read once they are done with it.

    As you would expect the story of all our famous names is included, but also the story of some unknowns who played just a handful of games including my grandfather whose career was cut down by a knee injury in the 40's.

    The book is a fantastic "read". It is not just about football careers, but about their personal journey through life. The second book is now underway with many contributions from previous players.
    I recommend that we all read the book. I have managed to get half way through it and it has brought back so many memories for me over the past 50 years or so. When the Museum is finally up and running, which will be very soon, we will all get an opportunity to take a trip down memory lane. Lets just hope we can place another premiership cup there very soon. Go Dogs

    I am sure the Club would be very interested. Please call Rachel Murphy at the WB. She was the person very much behind the Hall of Function last Saturday. I thought it was an absolutely outstanding success. Do call her. She will advise you accordingly.

    I found this while trawling around. It might have been posted before so apologies if it has.

    I found it really interesting and in light of the HOF might be worth having a look at.

    Neil is a remarkable man.

    I'd heard a lot about the incident, but don't recall ever seeing it, or hearing Neil speak.

    Great clip, he really is remarkable to have such a positive outlook. Thanks dfa4pm.

    Dannie Taylor I presume!

    The Bulldog Heritage is a great read, the lesser known names have very interesting stories to tell.

    Thanks for that.

    It's great to see that he fought on and never gave up. An inspiration to all.

    Danny!! Our family are very proud that his story was told in this way.

    John Schultz should be very proud of what he has been able to put together.
