Clyde ""Bulldog"" Turner rose from the West Texas plains to become
an early lynchpin of the Chicago Bears and the NFL and one of the
greatest linemen of the pre-television era. Fame, however, did not
stick to Bulldog Turner because the positions he played rarely made
headlines. Bulldog played center and linebacker, while the
recognition, glory, and money went to those who scored touchdowns.
Like Pudge Heffelfinger, Fats Henry, Ox Emerson, George Trafton,
Bruiser Kinard, Adolph Shultz, or Mel Hein, Bulldog Turner is a
ghostly character from football's leather helmet days. Still, no
man played his positions better than Bulldog Turner. He was the
ideal combination of size and speed, and every coach's dream: a
lineman who could block like a bulldozer, run like a halfback, and
catch like a receiver. Despite his talents, Bulldog never made much
money playing football, and what he did earn slipped through his
fingers like sand. When he retired, his iconic nickname faded from
memory. He died in relative obscurity on what remained of his Texas
ranch. Remembering Bulldog Turner brings an NFL great into the
limelight he never enjoyed as a football player.
