Conrad Francis Dobler (Pronounced: DOH-blur) (October 1, 1950 – February 13, 2023) was an American football guard who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 10 seasons, primarily with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was selected in the fifth round of the 1972 NFL draft by the Cardinals, where he spent his first six seasons, and was later a member of the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills for two seasons each.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection during his Cardinals tenure, Dobler achieved greatest notoriety for frequently utilizing unsportsmanlike tactics against opponents, which he openly acknowledged. He was proclaimed "Pro Football's Dirtiest Player" with a 1977 cover story in Sports Illustrated magazine and was the author of a 1988 memoir, They Call Me Dirty.
