An absolute legend! What a player!

Happy, happy memories of when Doug was on the team. His name is not in the rafters for nothing! He was awesome most nights

Can remember him taking us apart when he was with lea valley lions then we signed him if I my memory is right.

We should try and get him to a game if he's still around. One of the clubs biggest ever legends.

Doug lives in Canada, however he is in the U.K. at the moment watching his son play for Swindon, however he possibly has returned home. Spoke to him a fortnight ago, Doug was without a doubt my favourite player, and felt blessed to call him a friend.

We signed Doug after Paul Castron pulled out of his contact 2 days before the start of tyhe 1989/90 season. The rest is history as they say

Doug did play for Lee Valley after being released by Peterborough. on Oct 9th 1988 the devils were beated 11-8 at Lee Valley and Grek registered 9+2

That's the game I was thinking of

Absolute legend, anybody wants to know what makes a Devil, just watch this guy.

great memories of dougy, but one bad one was when ross lambert of panthers sucker punched him from behind and laid in a brutal attack on him, the damage was already done before chinny got hold of lambert, wouldnt have got that far today, it was that bad i did hear rumors the police were called to arrest lambert on gbh. COWARD.

I would argue Paul Castron is also a Devils legend simply for deciding not to come to us, paving the way for Doug to sign.

A superb player, very much in the Joey Martin mold but with the added ability to go coast to coast, seemingly at will.

Sorry Corey plays for Telford, not Swindon my bad, Doug flew back home yesterday.

Would'nt it be fantastic to see as many of those 'Greats' as guests at one of our home games in this our 30th season ...a group ceremonial puckdrop with John Lawless, Dougie, Mo, Shinedog, The Coopers, Ivan Matulik....the list goes on.

That would be another special way to acknowledge the Club's history and the legacy of those great players.

I'd be surprised if it hasn't been attempted, considering the content of the 30 yrs.

november 30th is the anniversary game v panthers so that would be ideal time for a few of the VETERANS to attend...

If his son is half as good then I wouldn't mind seeing him in red,

You build teams around players like McEwen. His modern day equivalent is Joey Martin.

McEwen was my all time favourite player. But I have to admit that Joey Martin is starting to challenge that.
