Number 4

The legend
The Greatest Hockey player ever


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

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.

What a nice guy he is.

A plug like that can make someone like me who has not posted in years on this site say thank you for sharing.

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.

Awesome Slip.

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."

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.
