He even wrote a book about it.

To be fair, though, many of the techniques Dobler used back then,
like the head slap, where you pop the helmet at the ear hole with
the flat part of your hand, are now prohibited by the rules.

Today's players are so much bigger, faster and stronger that some
of those 60's and 70's techniques would result in crippling injuries,
and we see far too many of those already.

A few years back there was a player who actually ripped the face
mask off a helmet when his fingers got stuck in it.  (I guess the 
screws were loose.)
