    Are we strictly talking Bulldogs here?

    The only player I remember to play with glasses (yes actual glasses) was Jeff Blethen.

    If we are talking contact lenses, then I think it was Darcy

      Yes, Bulldogs. These were like snow goggles with prescription lens so he could see. So no to Blethen & Darcy.

        Wow, I don't remember anyone like that. If it happened from 1992 to 1998, I only saw the odd game, plus some VHS replays as I was overseas during that period.

          You've given a big hint to the rest of the woofers, re time period.

                    Good go, but no. Think mid-late 1990's

                              Sedat Sir is from Parkside. I train with his brother Sami who is also from there.
                              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                I'm not sure if the last one was answered correctly so I'll pose another.

                                I was a Dogs backman in the mid/late 80s through early 90s who went by the same nickname as a current Finnish formula one driver.
