In defence of Dougie, you can only play against what’s in front of you, myself I reckon if the opposition was a higher quality game in game out, he would have also raised his game, and like Culligan MAC didn’t pursue a career in NA, it’s that old question was Best better than Ronaldo, would Tyson have beaten Ali, different eras different views. Anyway we are/were blessed to have had them both, thankfully.
I’m in no way knocking him but if he thought he was good enough to make himself a wealthy man playing a game he loved by staying in NA he wouldn’t have been playing in sheds like Peterborough, Lee Valley and Cardiff’s state of the art WNIR.
For me he wasn’t even the best player on his line when he came here, but that’s just my opinion.
Not the best analogies either. It’s not like comparing Ali to Tyson at all.
Charles Linglet is, as his resume says, in a completely different league.
Just saying!!
