In 1988, I moved to a new home in Ivanhoe....Bruce ran a news agency nearby.My Team is Melbourne...and the Dees made the GF, that year. My wife, Louise, went down to Bruce’s shop, and whilst requesting a ‘Weg’ poster, if the Dees won....asked Bruce, if he knew anything about Football?!🙄He replied, ‘Not much’ Lol!
As a kid (and still now) he was my all time favourite player. I grew up in Heidelberg and Bruce owned the Newsagents at Lower Plenty shops. I would ride my Bike about 8 or 10 kms to his shop on Monday morning to buy the Sun on weeks when Carlton had won. I always went in very excited (thinking i was the only person who did this) to congratulate him on the win. He would thank me for my well wishes each time in gis usual 2 or 3 words. Thrn go about his business. I would go home with my Sun under.my arm to study the stats..all the time being on cloud 9 following my 2 minutes with Bruce. A true legend of the game..Amazing club man and genuine lovely. bloke.
I remember he had the Newsagency in Ivanhoe in the late 80's. I used to buy the paper of him before catching the train into the city. Did that for ages and tried to coax a few words out of him but never succeeded. You would get hello and goodbye, thats about it.
The Flying Doormat...he doesn't need to speak, his actions on the football field spoke louder than a thousand words ever could. A really funny video btw..awesome work Mr Pang!😂
I watched Bruce Doull for 14 years and the more I reflect on that the more I realise that he was ahead of his time. He would get the ball at half back, run and then drill a beautiful drop punt like pass into the forward line. As good as I have seen!
Thanks for the vid watched this man play for years I'm 64 and from Jacana. Today's players could take a leaf out of Bruce's book. Please just play the game your social views and social nonsense are unrequired.
I used to buy the paper off him in Ivanhoe on the way to work on the train when my car was being repaired. I am a Carlton tragic but couldnt build up the courage to get him to autograph it I was also pretty quiet back then so I would nod to him hello and he would nod back. I regret missing that chance.
Great comment. Blues fan here and massive 'Flying Doormat' fan too. Many great memories of watching and meeting my hero back in the day. Your bloke, Jim Jess (The Ghost) used to amaze me when we met the Tiges. Loyalty, drive, ability, heart and could boot it a mile, mate he had it all.....Absolute champion.
if he was able to be stat tracked like today's footballer he would be the text book version you would teach all kids with halfback potential. Inspirational Team Leader , Amazing Game Vision , Text Book Halfback , A Great 1% Player Also . Might just add that my number 1 player for 1% play was Wayne Harmes when he miss kicked and then got his own kick before it went out of bounds and slapped it 20 meters to the goal square to Ken Sheldon I think was something i can still see with my eyes closed today Carn The Blues
Hey folks did you know that Matthew Scarlett is Bruces nephew ? Sister married John Scarlett and the Doull family originally came from Geelong. The family resemblance can be seen in eyes , check out photos when Matt has a beard its spooky..... for a forward!
@jackmag4056 I'd love to have heard a few sentences from Bruce about driving to training and games over the years. What kind of wheels he owned. You could see how familiar all the roads and avenues around Carlton and Princes Park were to Bruce -- and all the blokes who did speak.

i am not a Carlton fan , however he is the number one player I want to be inducted as a legend in the hall of fame. The best defender Ive seen ever
He was my local postman in Brunswick. We always used to chat although he didn't say to much. Really nice man

Bruce is a far more fascinating character than every loudmouth I've ever known.
Best video ever. The best Carlton player ever.
Second that
J G, Soccer, it doesn't matter if more people support Soccer than AFL because AFL is the best football game in the World.
@J G acting school won’t be the number one sport in Australia in 2050, won’t get past cricket either
The Flying Doormat...he doesn't need to speak, his actions on the football field spoke louder than a thousand words ever could. A really funny video btw..awesome work Mr Pang!😂
Bruce is an absolute legend.
Couldn't believe it when I saw he'd agreed to do this. Now I understand. What an absolute legend, one of the best you'll ever see.

One my all time fave players. Love ya Bruce
when I was like 14 he owned lower plenty newsagents where I did morning paper rounds starting at 4am, a fuckin legend of a bloke from my memories
Oh mate.....just pissed my self laughing.....great stuff Sam. Bruce Doull - LEGEND.
Bruce Doull, a champion in every sense of the word.
And who could think of a better nickname than “the flying door mat “ 😂😂
You just knew that the ride with Bruce was going to be quiet, that’s fantastic
"I don't have the runner." Probably the most he ever spoke to anyone!
Love these videos especially seeing the players I grew up with like Kenny Hunter and Buzz !
That's hilarious, especially the last bit with Bruce Doull driving and Sam's facial expression
That’s exactly how he was at his news agency in Ivanhoe. I would walk in there just to be in the same room as this legend!
One of this games greatest..
Bring back the engine room Pangy!!!!
Love ya Doull!! Needs his own statue outside princes park
Gold.
Brilliant!
Love this vid
Magnificent. Well done Sam.
Never seen a player who
Is so reveared by his team mates
Yeah we can see his comment dickhead, you didn’t have to repeat the entire thing.
Had a gut feeling it would be a short video. Love ya Bruce.
The flying doormat
Brilliant.
Yes indeed Mr Doull.
I used to buy the paper off him in Ivanhoe on the way to work on the train when my car was being repaired.
I am a Carlton tragic but couldnt build up the courage to get him to autograph it I was also pretty quiet back then so I would nod to him hello and he would nod back. I regret missing that chance.
They broke the mould after Bruce Doull
What do you mean?
@@planetX15 another way of saying ‘they don’t make them like Bruce Doull any more’ (I think)
Best one yet Sam =)
pure gold
That final 80 seconds would've been excruciating....
Magic
Brilliant 👏🏽👏🏽
Tigers fan, but I love Bruce.
Great comment.
Blues fan here and massive 'Flying Doormat' fan too.
Many great memories of watching and meeting my hero back in the day.

Bruce Doull is Carlton
The silence was golden
Would be the perfect neighbour, silence.
Bruce Douall GOAT
GO BLUES
Love ya bruce doull
Dermott Brereton's mention of Doully during the 2020 Marsh Community Series (GWS v. Sydney) brought me here.
Have u got a link for it?
@@neeyo7229 No, but I still have that match on my DVR.
I consider myself lucky for having Bruce Doulls signature on my wall.
Its 4 years later but please explain
Just 💙 this
Legend
One of the best, got the job done ,honest and down to earth , not a wanker like most,onya doormat
Hey folks did you know that Matthew Scarlett is Bruces nephew ? Sister married John Scarlett and the Doull family originally came from Geelong. The family resemblance can be seen in eyes , check out photos when Matt has a beard its spooky..... for a forward!
i thought it was second cousins?
thanks bruce
Man of very few words
Hilarious! What a legend....Bruce was good as well.....
Bruce doull you are the messiah to me and our f
See you Sam , wow first time iv heard him speak !
@jackmag4056 I'd love to have heard a few sentences from Bruce about driving to training and games over the years. What kind of wheels he owned. You could see how familiar all the roads and avenues around Carlton and Princes Park were to Bruce -- and all the blokes who did speak.
Love ya doormat
very funny
I wonder if he owns a phone and if he answers it if it rings
Such an astute footballer it baffles my mind why he never coached...😂
Like a father taking his kid to the Game .😂😂😂😂
Sam; you could've at least said - G'Day Bruce, how ya go'in' mate !
Drinking and Driving with Sam Pang
Bruce Doull ...LMAO
Bruce'y looks like a maniac with that white lol
😅😂🤣
Shuddup Brucey ya talk too much
The only player that always BEAT Doull was Phil Carmen Carmen always destroyed him and stuck his thumb up his ass too
Exactly right Carmen had a too short career
