Back Beach 12-17-2009, 03:19 PM Awesome Slip.:btu:
I've met him a few times at some golf tourneys we've both played in. Last year I had one of my friends at a tourney and he won an autographed shirt from #4. After exchanging some pleasantries and chatting for a while my friend made a great statement which summed Bobby up real well..."You'd think for all he accomplished and meant to the sport as well as our town he'd have a big head, but he's really just the opposite, humble, kind, and a real winner."
ProfessorM 12-17-2009, 03:49 PM probably still never paid for a drink or dinner in Boston to this day. The best of the best. Need i say more

Tagger 12-17-2009, 04:51 PM Met him years ago (30?) ... He use to do some buisness in offices up 128 .. My wife worked as a Caf worker/manager there... I'd pick her up . He's a Joe regular ... Most down to earth ,,not full of himself person you'd ever want to meet ... Class act 100% . can't say enough about the "MAN "...
good2hook 12-17-2009, 06:24 PM he signed "the goal" picture of him flying through the air for me. A friend of mine was lucky enough to meet him at a golf tournament, he had it signed for me. He said he was a super guy. Very humble. I'd have to say my friend is pretty super too, getting that autograph for me.
it says
to george best regards bobby orr. I was a huge hockey nut growing up. He was/is my favorite all time hockey player. I only wish i could of seen him play in person.
