Driving with Sam Pang - Bruce Doull

In the final episode of Driving with Sam Pang, we pay tribute to the Flying Doormat himself, the one and only Bruce Doull

[@briantierney9771]

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!

[@IsaacAsimov1992]

Bruce is a far more fascinating character than every loudmouth I've ever known.

[@matted781]

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

[@johncitizen9996]

He was my local postman in Brunswick. We always used to chat although he didn't say to much. Really nice man

[@paulsuniverse6193]

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.

[@iankearns774]

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.

[@MissNavyBlue32]

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.

[@mickmorrissey16]

Bruce Doull, a champion in every sense of the word. And who could think of a better nickname than “the flying door mat “ 😂😂

[@richardyoul8360]

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

[@michaelrowell7798]

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!😂

[@TheSeptembergurl]

Best video ever. The best Carlton player ever.

[@barrystormont3817]

Second that

[@stalemateone8802]

J G, Soccer, it doesn't matter if more people support Soccer than AFL because AFL is the best football game in the World.

[@TheLaughingMagpie]

@J G acting school won’t be the number one sport in Australia in 2050, won’t get past cricket either

[@stevens2772]

Oh mate.....just pissed my self laughing.....great stuff Sam. Bruce Doull - LEGEND.

[@slowraceultra]

Bruce is an absolute legend.

[@barefootbooks69]

I remember getting Bruce to sign his footy card in 81/82. He was a fantastic player. A true champion.

[@neeyo7229]

Wow. Have you still got it?

[@barefootbooks69]

@@neeyo7229 No. Lost it moving house one time.

[@davidtennant2712]

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!

[@neeyo7229]

One my all time fave players. Love ya Bruce

[@wespaul9345]

Bruce Doull is Carlton

[@hmasyarra]

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.

[@JV.-jv.]

Never seen a player who Is so reveared by his team mates

[@chiefchimp4377]

Yeah we can see his comment dickhead, you didn’t have to repeat the entire thing.

[@v66catta84]

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!

[@smolpeen6614]

The flying doormat

[@neeyo7229]

Bring back the engine room Pangy!!!! Love ya Doull!! Needs his own statue outside princes park

[@russellmcbride5435]

That's hilarious, especially the last bit with Bruce Doull driving and Sam's facial expression

[@osocool1too]

That final 80 seconds would've been excruciating....

[@ronanrogers4127]

They broke the mould after Bruce Doull

[@planetX15]

What do you mean?

[@bro5469]

@@planetX15 another way of saying ‘they don’t make them like Bruce Doull any more’ (I think)

[@krisbrand354]

Gold.

[@sabrinaverde8346]

One of this games greatest..

[@tonenotrequired8626]

It's a blight on the AFL that the Greatest Defender of All Time Bruce Doull has not yet been elevated to Legend status.

[@skyblueprophet]

Love this vid

[@traceyreid4702]

Love these videos especially seeing the players I grew up with like Kenny Hunter and Buzz !

[@jocee569]

Brilliant.

[@murphdog8980]

Magnificent. Well done Sam.

[@hirdy6]

Brilliant!

[@activebottleukltd1045]

GOLD!!! Love it!!

Had a gut feeling it would be a short video. Love ya Bruce.

[@vmelboune6664]

pure gold

[@jamesreid1847]

Yes indeed Mr Doull.

[@harrylederman1679]

The silence was golden

[@NicholasHerriman]

Tigers fan, but I love Bruce.

[@scatter1390]

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.

[@SirSSau]

I consider myself lucky for having Bruce Doulls signature on my wall.

[@harrycooper8065]

Its 4 years later but please explain

[@BangBangYudhoyono]

Magic

[@mjtasic]

Best one yet Sam =)

[@peterjackson3805]

Brilliant 👏🏽👏🏽

[@ozadder]

Hilarious! What a legend....Bruce was good as well.....

[@joannedavis8245]

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!

[@petercare3756]

i thought it was second cousins?

[@kingalmiller73]

Just 💙 this

[@mbclev]

Dermott Brereton's mention of Doully during the 2020 Marsh Community Series (GWS v. Sydney) brought me here.

[@neeyo7229]

Have u got a link for it?

[@mbclev]

@@neeyo7229 No, but I still have that match on my DVR.

[@malcolmlee2935]

One of the best, got the job done ,honest and down to earth , not a wanker like most,onya doormat

[@joeychatfield7105]

Legend

[@rickyelvis3215]

thanks bruce

[@kevaldrick8272]

Bruce Douall GOAT GO BLUES

[@tweakintrax6097]

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

[@tonenotrequired8626]

Harmes tapped it back into play to Ken Sheldon not Ken Hunter.

[@jackmag4056]

See you Sam , wow first time iv heard him speak !

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@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.

[@timothyjoyce9554]

Love ya doormat

[@colinnoble3918]

very funny

[@TheCleaner76]

I wonder if he owns a phone and if he answers it if it rings

[@tomcustard]

Would be the perfect neighbour, silence.

[@isakketsakidis6636]

Like a father taking his kid to the Game .😂😂😂😂
