Conrad Dobler, Once Known as ‘Dirtiest Player’ in NFL, Dies at 72 - Sports Illustrated
The former right guard played 10 seasons in the NFL.
I've heard that in spite of his on field reputation, that he was actually a nice guy. I used to like watching him play.RIP Connie, Used to play cards with him at U of Wyo.
He was a nice guy. Pretty smart too. Him, Bobby Parsons and Bad Dude Stearns all checked out last year. They were all good friends long ago and I'll miss them all, even though I haven't seen them for years. That's probably a mortality thing. I don't know about Dude but the other two had early onset dementia when they died. Tough game.I've heard that in spite of his on field reputation, that he was actually a nice guy.

My privelege to watch Dobler play in those days of outdoor football in Busch Stadium. Dobler, Dan Dierdorf, Tom Banks, Bob Young, Roger Finnie....allowing just 8 sacks for a very immobile Jim Hart. The Cardinals will always be my team even after having moved out West.He was a nice guy. Pretty smart too. Him, Bobby Parsons and Bad Dude Stearns all checked out last year.

I liked Larry Wilson from those old Cardinals. The announcers used to like saying he'd stick his head in a buzzsaw when describing his love of hitting.My privelege to watch Dobler play in those days of outdoor football in Busch Stadium.

Agree, also I got to meet Roger Wehrli at an event and loved talking football with him. He also liked to hit.I liked Larry Wilson from those old Cardinals. The announcers used to like saying he'd stick his head in a buzzsaw when describing his love of hitting.
I had heard from a couple of my friends that played in the NFL during the same time as Conrad, that he suffered from dementia.He was a nice guy. Pretty smart too.
