George Doig
George Ronald Doig (25 May 1913 – 27 November 2006) was an Australian rules footballer who played for and later coached the East Fremantle Football Club in the Western Australian National Football League (WANFL). A member of the Doig sporting family, Doig kicked 1103 goals from his 203 games playing almost exclusively as a forward, becoming East Fremantle's leading goalkicker of all-time, and leading the WANFL's goalkicking on six occasions. He kicked more than 100 goals in a season nine times, which included a haul of 152 goals in 1934 that set an Australian record, which was not broken until Bernie Naylor () kicked 167 goals in 1953. Doig captained the club for two seasons, from 1940 to 1941, also filling the role of coach during the first season.
Doig also represented the Western Australian state side in 14 matches, kicking 62 goals. He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002, and was named as a "Legend" in the West Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2004. Doig also features in East Fremantle‘s Team of the Century, and the Fremantle Football Hall of Legends.
==Early life==
Doig was born on 25 May 1913 to Charles George Alexander Doig and his wife, Isabella Brand Doig (née Miller), at their residence at 30 Howard Street, Fremantle.〔(Birth notices, 30 May 1913 ) – ''The West Australian''. Published Friday, 30 May 1913. Retrieved from (Trove ), 17 January 2012.〕 Doig was a member of the Doig sporting family which produced 17 WAFL footballers. His father, Charles Doig, Sr., played 209 games for East Fremantle between 1903 and 1921, and later coached the club for one season, in 1940. His brother, Charles Doig, Jr., played 196 games for East Fremantle and also captained the club.
Doig attended Fremantle Boys' School in Fremantle, but played "little football" at school.〔(Clubs Must Discover Goalkickers ) – ''The West Australian''. Published Tuesday, 12 May 1954. Retrieved from (Trove ), 19 January 2012.〕 In 1931, Doig played for an East Fremantle side in the Fremantle Suburban Football Association, a local competition. Despite his team finishing second from last, Doig kicked 126 goals from 20 games to lead the competition‘s goalkicking.〔(Fremantle Suburban Association. ) – ''The West Australian''. Published Friday, 11 September 1931. Retrieved from (Trove ), 17 January 2012.〕 The competition was quite casual and of a low standard; in a 1954 interview, Doig characterised himself as part of the "barefoot brigade".〔 In one match against Palmyra at Fremantle Park, Doig kicked his team's entire score, 26 goals and 20 behinds, to Palmyra's seven goals and seven behinds. ''The Sunday Times'' noted it as "a splendid performance".〔(A SPLENDID PERFORMANCE. ) – ''The Sunday Times''. Published Sunday, 6 September 1931. Retrieved from (Trove ), 17 January 2012.〕 The following season, Doig played with East Fremantle's affiliate in the Western Australian National Football Association (WANFA), which acted as a sort of reserve or seconds team for the main club.
