It was a great night for a great man , it absolutely beggars belief why he was allowed to leave our Club , regardless of what playing time he was going to get on the park , he was a good coach at youth level and a role model for the youngsters to show what can be achieved through hard work and dedication.   Dools was the perfect ambassador for our football club .

Perhaps someone else can confirm but I believe Kris has donated a sizable part of his testimonial proceeds to charity. Regardless his off field work behind the scenes, particularly visiting the young and elderly is well known. Factor in Kris is one of the most articulate footballers you'll come across and, yes, he was (still should be ) as jlsarmy says "the perfect ambassador for our football club".

He’d donated 50% of his testimonial fund to the Beatson

An extraordinary act of kindness.

Yes. Pity Jacqui Low didn't think so.

I bracket having a "perfect ambassador" for the Club in the same sort of territory as having effective communication with the support. Both filed away under Standard PR. The major difference being the former is something to cherish as you're lucky to have, whilst there's no luck required for the latter.

Absolutely incredible- especially as he would not have earned a fortune with the jags. A true gentleman and legend

Dools shall always be the epitome of what it means to be a Jag. I sincerely hope he will be back as a coach soon.

Can only agree with everything that has been said. It was a great honour for me to present the Doolan 100 goals trophy to him. Which @BowenBoys asked me to do in memory of young Robert.
