Whats the difference between 1 or 4 pages? The point being made is dumb. Everyone here talks shit about the DT because of the way they treat(ed) our club yet we cry foul because we didn't get a 4 page tribute?

Once again, you missed the point. Don't worry about it.

Agree. Hope there is a big turn out.
I'm in Melbourne so can't get there.
I shook his hand after the 1985 grand final.
Fantastic player and by all accounts a good guy and great family man.

Anything less is disrespectful from the club

I’d actually like the club gym named after him given his passion for fitness I think it would be pretty fitting.

DAY GROWN MEN CRIED

GROWN men do cry, even those as tough as old Bulldogs legend Steve Folkes. Former NRL boss David Gallop remembers the day he stripped Canterbury of 37 competition points over the 2003 salary cap scandal and, in doing so, reduced Folkes to tears.

“I’ll never forget … it was just Folkesy and me in my office with a huge media pack outside,” Gallop recalled. “Both of us just sat there crying. It showed how much the club meant to him.”

Folkes’ funeral will be held at Belmore Sportsground tomorrow from 3pm. All fans are welcome

Fuck you Gallop. Hooe he haunts you.

I believe Folkesy would have. Not Gallop.

10 Grand Finals as a player, trainer and coach for 6 total wins... hard to imagine the 'Dogs without Folkes hovering around in some capacity or another

Rest in Peace

Gallop would only have been crying if Folkes smacked him around a bit first
