    The humblest athlete of all time.

      Hard to argue...one can make a persuasive case for his exemplary humility especially in light of his literal superstar status in the hockey world. What a gift for the sport to have had the likes of Beliveau, Howe, Mario...#4. Class acts all.

    Boy is Bobby loved in Boston and all around in the world of hockey. What a classy person. Every father would like to have a son like Bobby. Humble to the core.

      Habs fan for almost 60 years and I have discussed among my sport fanatic friends a longtime held sense that of all the supreme athletes that have worn a Boston/NE jersey in their careers (e.g. Williams, Russell, Bird, Brady etc.), regardless of a most worthy respect and admiration for their contributions to their sports, it is Orr that will always be the most beloved, not least because of his character. I don't believe that I'm wrong about that.

    That's awesome. They wanted to show their appreciation. One of the newer chants is "THANK-YOU. BOB-BY!! (clap. clap. clap-clap-clap)." If that one was around back then they would have done it for 20 straight minutes. This was the '79 Bruins team. When Grapes took them to within a hair of the Stanley Cup Final. That would've been just a great, great night. The hero-worship must've been unreal. I learned of Bobby Orr much later on. I had no idea how good he was. Arguably the greatest complete hockey player ever.

    Best player I have ever seen at the old Boston Garden. He revolutionized the game. Defenseman were not expected to score. And yet he wins the scoring title as a defenseman ! #4 Bobby Orr 🏒🤘

    I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, watching in earnest since 1963.
    But I am also a NHL fan, from back when there were only 6 teams in the league.
    As a kid born and raised in rural
    🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱, I basically knew of no other pro hockey fans.
    There were no NHL teams in the South, but we got the NHL games on TV, and l became a fan of the Montreal Canadiens.
    I remember the legendary Bobby Orr's rookie season with the Boston Bruins in '66, and became a fan of his from then on.
    Not only is Bobby Orr one of the greatest players in the history of the NHL, but even
    more so.....he is a great human being.
    God bless our pro hockey players from a by-gone era 🏒🏒
