The Greatest Hockey player ever


Thanks to my photographer brother, I had the pleasure to meet him today :jump:
and of course I brought a plug :D

color came out a little green, it is a black and gold danny plug, I am not the photographer, I should have asked my little brother to take the pic, oh well.

I actually took care of his lawn up in Sharon, Mass when I worked for a lawn care company. Did 4 treatments and every time he had something cold for me to drink and was always quite willing to talk hockey with me. Great, great guy.

My sister worked at a bank in Brockton just after he started playing for the Bruins. He would always sit and eat sub sandwiches with the tellers at lunch time in between doing whatever he was do for bank promo work.

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."

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 "...

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.
