1958, there were a couple of local blokes who played for the Berries. From memory Kenny Rowland's rings a bell. The Berries was my local team and just about everyone else was supporting St George and I was happy not to be a sheep.

First game I ever attended was the 1974 GF. Could not see anything as I was only a small boy, so we left at half time!! I remember seeing Phil Charlton before the match and thinking what a HUGE man. This was when the Dogs were the Berries.

I was a Magpies fan cause we had our school athletic carnivals at Lidcombe oval. I remember asking my mum to get me a jersey from Mick Simmons Sports store in Parramatta, only one they had they fit me was the Berries. I had a number 9 ironed on the back.
Those were the days. So a fan since 1974.

1976 for me.
I remember dad watching the 1974 Grand Final.
But I got interested in 1976.

Born into a Bulldogs family in early '77 and would have been sent back if I supported anyone else. Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc. all supported the dogs as they were from the area.

1975 moved to NSW from NT never seen a game of league before in my life and my family were all from Victoria so mad Aussie rules supporters.
Sitting in a caravan park at Brunswick heads northern NSW watching tv saw this dynamic red headed skinny bloke wearing a bulldogs jumper set the field alight, the great Turvey, and been a dogs supporter ever since.

Grew up on Sharp St. 50 metres from the ground.
Whole family were from the area.
Dr George was literally my Dr.
