Doug told RealEstate.com the property was often used for recovery sessions for the boys with him still having the original ‘Doug Hawkins’ wing sign. 

‘If someone buys it and they’re a Bulldogs supporter I might even sign it and chuck it in,’ the footballer said to the publication. 

‘To have a sign (with your name on it) while you’re still playing was pretty good but to have it in your backyard was even more special, just quietly.’ 

Amenities: The home features a beautiful in-ground pool and tennis court
