Like Pudge Heffelfinger, Fats Henry, Ox Emerson, George Trafton, Bruiser Kinard, Adolph Shultz, or Mel Hein, Bulldog Turner is a ghostly character from footballâs leather helmet days. Still, no man played his positions better than Bulldog Turner. He was the ideal combination of size and speed, and every coachâs dream: a lineman who could block like a bulldozer, run like a halfback, and catch like a receiver.
