Some Famous People called Doug Wade
Doug Wade
Douglas Graeme Wade (born 16 October 1941) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club and North Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
He was the League's leading goal scorer (winning the Coleman Medal) on four occasions from 1962 until 1974. He was only the second player (after Collingwood's Gordon Coventry), and the first post-WW2 to kick over 1,000 goals in his career. Only three other players – Gary Ablett Snr (Hawthorn/Geelong), Jason Dunstall (Hawthorn) and Tony Lockett (St.Kilda/Sydney) have emulated the effort.
