Barry was an enormous part of the Bulldogs family.
Joining Canterbury in 1950 as a second rower, Barry played in 61 First Grade matches between 1954 and 1961.
In addition, he played one game for NSW in 1960, where he unfortunately suffered a broken jaw.
During the 1980s, Nelson became club president of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
It was during that time that he and secretary Peter Moore, oversaw a very successful period that yielded 4 premierships. He was club president from 1982-2002.
Barry was a Life Member of the Club and in 2004, he was nominated for the Berries to Bulldogs 70 Year Team of Champions.
“He’s really excited and I’m really pleased for him,” he said.
“He’s gone well for us, and this deal with the Bulldogs is reward for his hard work over a long period of time.
“They obviously see him as a future NRL player, and I hope he can realise the potential they see in him.”
Dale-Doyle played his junior football with a number of local clubs in the region - Emu Park, Rockhampton Tigers, Fitzroy and North Rockhampton.
After a one-year stint at the East Tigers while attending school in Brisbane, he returned to the Capras in a bid to chase his footy dream.
