Clyde Douglas (Bulldog) Turner (March 10, 1919 in Plains, Texas, USA - October 30, 1998) was a professional football player for the Chicago Bears.

Turner, coming out of Hardin-Simmons University, was the Bears first round draft pick in the 1940 draft. But, at first at least, Turner didn't want to be on the Bears. It turned out that the Detroit Lions' owner paid him $200 to "get his teeth fixed" and turn down other teams proposals. The Detroit Lions were fined $5000 for tampering and the Chicago Bears got a great two-way player.

Clyde "Bulldog" Turner was big for his day, (6-2, 235) however he was smart and very fast. A six time all-pro center, and a steady linebacker, Turner intercepted 4 passes in 5 nfl title games.

Teammate George Russo once said of Bulldog, "Who knows what kind of player he would have been if he ever got to rest during a game?"
