This is 'Dougan', named after Derek Dougan, the centre-forward for Wolves. It was the second cub born at Dudley: the first was named 'Chico' after the Aston Villa player, Ian 'Chico' Hamilton. There is an interesting account of Dudley's polar bears at Throwback Thursday - Dudley Zoological Gardens
Scanned from a Kodachrome transparency.
@gentle lemur I remember Hans and Helga quite well. Its a pity the article doesn't say where their other cubs went to, apart from the one to Belfast.
The enclosure was often very dirty as the bears were very reluctant to be lured into their dens to be locked in while the main enclosure was properly cleaned.
