TERRACE BAY NEWS THE July 27, 1967 SPORTS BEAT By Glen May Meet Derek Dougan Derek Dougan, equipped with an artists' goatee and ta- pered tweed _ sports-jacket, could pass for a shopkeeper from Toronto's Yorkville Vil- lage. An added attraction is his Belfast brogue. He doesn't look like an ath- lete, much less an athlete who was just purchased from a team by another for 50,000 pounds. And contrary to re- ports out of the European CommonMarket, that's still a hell of a lot of stirling, buster. Dougan is a football player, not Green Bay Packers 'type, but rather, Wolverhampton Wanderers type -- or as we have come to call it in North America -- soccer. The Wolves purchased him from Leicester City for the bucket of quid after this six foot, three incher had starred for 10 years with some of the best sides in Great © Britain. "Doog" is an international star. In his first six games with the Wolves he scored five goals. His right foot was more of a conversation piece than The Rolling Stones' pot par- ties. The first time I met the incomparable Dougan was at a press reception. He was the elder statesman of the Wolves. He is 28. Most of the other players were busy extolling their virtues to the free-loading press or wolfing (I couldn't resist that one) down large hunks of sandwiches and meats, along with generous portions of beverages. To many of these younger players it was a new toy, this trip away from home, but to Doog it was just another press conference to be followed by another game, to be followed by another plane ride, to be followed by another practice, and so on. He just. couldn't join the excitement. So Dougan leaned against the back wall nursing a glass of drink and watched the pro- ceedings with a bored expres- sion. He allowed the odd smile when he would overhear one of the younger players explain how he scored this goal or blocked this shot. Captain Derek stayed in the same spot for just over an hour. Finally, as the tiny groups began to disperse and the news" gathering types weaved their respective ways to the double-doored exit, Doog moved eight feet back to the bar. He wanted a refill. On his way he nodded a greeting to a couple of people and said a few words to team manager Ronnie Allen on his return to the wall. This was definitely not the celebrated and_ controversial Irish international of the past decade. No longer is Dougan the flamboyant figure off the field. Here was a man who, in his younger days with Aston Villa, shaved his head as clean as a billiard ball. When asked why he did it he replied: "We are all a little bit vain, a bit con- ceited. I thought I was going thin on top and I reckoned that if I cut my _ hair off it would help it to grow more strongly." This prank earned him the nickname of Cheyenne. But those days are gone. Doog today is not the Doog of the early sixties. "I've changed," he says, "I'm slowly becoming less and less of 'an extrovert and more and more of an introvert. I'm keep- ing my thoughts, my feelings, far more to myself. I just get on with the job." With the Wolves. seeking First Division status again af- ter a tour in the lower eche- lons of English Football, all eyes are focused on Derek Dougan. He is their Moses. What does he think of it all? "I've never met a team spirit like I've found at the Wolves. They cap the lot. And that's why I say that with a tiny bit of luck we'll be there..." .
