Even more impressive considering he was a type 1 diabetic and the team picked him up and stood by him with that. Pretty rad stuff.
I'm type 1. Bobby's story always reminds me I can do pretty much anything. As long as I eat properly and pre-bolus accurately
Bobby Clarke played the center position as it should be played,play maker,and sacrificed his own stats, to make his line great.Leach,Clarke, Barber was a great line.and so were the Flyers!
The great LCB line.
Check out how many assists Clarke had every year
i was 13 when we won the 1st cup
that summer was the start of street hockey, that lasted for years
i lived in Levittown and you couldn't drive thru any section without seeing a pick up game.
those were the days..... the Broad Street Bullies will never be forgotten.
believe it or not, the Flyers saved hockey.
back then a lot of teams could't sell out their home games,
until the Flyers came calling.
this team was the BADDEST team ever, no one can compare...even to this day
Did you score for a case of Tastykake? I lived in Falls Township around the same time and we were playing street hockey unless there was snow on the ground. They cry of "Car!" was the only thing that would slow us down, that and chasing the puck down the street after someone shot and missed the net . Good times.
Havnt won shit in soon to be 45 years
Cobalt Ridge. Neshaminy High School Hockey 1974 to 1977.
@@DrRussPhd those metal automobiles back then stopped many a red ball lol
У нас его тоже уважают! We also respect him!
Clarke and Parent THE TWO GREATEST FLYERS EVER ! Nobody else is even close !
That classic '7/10 split' smile!
Philadelphia's 1974 upset win over Boston made them the first of the "Next Six" NHL clubs (the six teams that joined the NHL in 1967) to win a Stanley Cup championship.
Bobby Clarke was the Captain every team wished they had.
And still pretty much the face of the franchise!
He was my first favorite player, I played that physical hockey for 20 years, truly one of the greatest hockey players underrated for sure !!
Bobby Clarke wasn't just the most beloved Philadelphia Flyers player, he was also the most beloved athlete in the history of Philadelphia professional team sports.
Well said !
Bruins fan.Bobby Clarke was a GREAT player. Great Captain and leader. He hustled his ass off. Here in Boston rivalry and all. Clarke was respected for his tenacity. His will was an example followed by his mates for Cups. Frig that Russian player it was war not hockey.
Lol it was philly hockey vs kharlamov
Our Heart and Soul.
Having your team retire your number. Greatest honour.
Great Player
When Clarke scored the winning goal in overtime in game 2 of the 1974 finals it triggered this team to a championship. His leap after he scored will always be remembered. His time as a GM, not so much.
they just never have a top goalie
@@joeclayton2121 not after Pelle died.
@@Rockhound6165 right
The Best Captain of All Time in "Any" Sport!!!!! God Bless(ed) the Flyers!!!!!
......... #WARRIOR !!!!!!!!
I would rather have Steve Yzerman.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bobby Clarke's the best!
Pece17 Кларк ГАВНО! Ларионов лучший!!!
@@sizhigarkovsizhigarkov3150 Larionov is good,but he is so far from the BEST ONE...
@@Panfilovec 🤗🤗🤗
@@sizhigarkovsizhigarkov3150 Я своё мнение сказал. Уж если на то пошло,то из той русской пятёрки (Детройт),то я бы сказал,что лучшие там были Константинов и Фёдоров. Но уж ни как не Ларионов.
@@Panfilovec Это больной фрик, помешанный на Ларионове. Не обращайте на него внимания!
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES
Loved those Broad St Bullies!!!
Bobby Clarke is a legend
Gary Bettman is a weisel
Bettman made the league what it is today with all the expansion teams from 17 to 32 teams, helping popularize it in USA.
@@nastalgicsportsfan1100 today they are a bunch of wimps.
some players the nhl didn't want you to check
cherry picker gretzsky, crosby, mario L, etc.
should have just put a dress on them
I am a 62 year old man. I have watched A LOT of sports in those 62 years, I have not, to this day, seen a harder working athlete in my life. Pete Rose was a slacker, compared to Clarke. His desire to play and win was super natural.
Type 1 diabetics are extremely strong willed.
I met Bobby in the parking lot after a phantoms game. Nice guy
i'm from boston and anti-flyers but bobby clark was a heck of a player, kinda like a charley hustle. fred shero with the shades always looked like he was from the mob but his teams had a good run back then.
I loved Bobby Clarke back in the late 70s and early 80s. His toothless smile was priceless and spoke volumes. But he also had a nasty and thoughtless side. I recall him making an insensitive comment about Roger Neilson having cancer and he had it in for Eric Lindros. And I'm sure that Valeri Kharlamov has some negative thoughts, too. So again, great player back in the day, but he could have been a better human being.
@@Clarkie1 -- Funny, but I just watched Billy Jack a couple of weeks ago.
Харламов погиб в 1981 году в автокатастрофе!
.......... PURE WARRIOR !!!!!!!!!!!
All Round hockey player and more so. He had one eye on the puck and one eye on the refs lol
The Best.
What's Gary Bettman doing in this video ??? I'm damn sure Bettman never SAW Bobby Clarke play ! Hell, Bettman didn't even know what a puck was, his first day in office. How would he have handled the BSB ?
Just what I was thinking
the best!
Владимир Краснов Кларк урод из НХЛ.Ларионов лучший!!!
CLARKEY! That's a fing Flyer.
True grit....
What a goon!!!!
The best
Самый красивый мужчина на свете! С 10 лет люблю его! Бобби, живи долго-долго, ты- лучший!!!
Number 16 ftw
Clark is the greatest! Keep bettman out.
Bettman's input is an insult to the hockey universe.
A real man, even though at the time I hated him.
Bastard, who deliberately broke Kharlamov's ankle in superseria - 72.
I didnt even know about bob till me and my brother cleaned his cottage windows and i also got a pic with him
@John Smith yee he had three doggos
He would do anything to win, even break ankles.
He made his line mates better.
His lines made him a better leader I feel. They enabled his confidence knowing he was Flyer protected...
The prototypical philly athlete...
ABSOFLOGGINGLUTELY!!!
That' s not a compliment
I heard Clarke wanted to play for the Leafs.
YEAH?
Among the dirtiest and most cowardly players in the history of the NHL. He NEVER had to stand up for himself, letting the Broad Street Bullies fight all his battles. He'd punch, spear, slash, cross-check from behind and then run and hide. Highly skilled and determined, yes, but that does not come close to evening his account...
I love your comment, so accurate and truthful. And surprising no negative backlash amongst all this Clarkie is God garbage here.
And Clarkie as GM trading away all those players, draft picks and cash to get equally overrated Eric Lindros and ultimately get ZERO Stanley Cups in return. Yes, let's rename Philadelphia, PA Clarkesville PA!
In an executive position Bobby Clark has done more harm to the flyers that Mike Milbury did to the Islanders
Truth ~ his luster as a player has been tarnished in Philly by his disastrous executive leadership.
Bobby is mad.
Turned off as soon as betting man came on the screen. A disgrace to have him speaking about Bobby Clarke.
Bobby Clarke was THE MAN!
Michael Jordan and Bobby clarke were cut from the same cloth.
He was a great hockey player except for his constant stick work on other players he got pummeled everytime he fought was a hustler but very dirty
There are probably only two or three guys that I would place above him and they are ted lindsay of the red wings and rocket richard of the canadiens. Also Bobby Clarke himself said that Bobby Orr was the epitome of what a hockey player should represent. When Orr was the best player on the ice against the russians playing on only one good leg. Yet he was undoubtedly a throwback to a tougher era when players would do ANYTHING to win. A perfect example was in the summit series against the russians when he slashed the soviets great winger valery kharlomov
They make them tough in Manitoba ...end of story
Tough and brainless
@@jesselevesque8059 that's not nice Jesse ...lots of great brains 🧠 in Manitoba ...oh yahhh partner
@@MapleSyrupPoet I misunderstood, sorry about that! You said Manitoba. I was thinking Philadelphia. Of course there are plenty of great brains in Manitoba! :) I just don't get why so many PA folks practically adore Bobby Clarke when he was considered not only a bully, but the dirtiest player in the NHL! Did Clarke find Jesus or something after I stopped watching hockey? I stopped watching in 1976 when Bobby Orr left Boston for Chicago.
@@jesselevesque8059 I'll go to war, with Bobby Clarke, any day ...he's leading my platoon partner 😉🍁
@@MapleSyrupPoet War is one thing, hockey is another. I wouldn't want to go to war... period. However, Clarke would have been the guy I'd fight alongside as well. I just wouldn't want him on my hockey team. :)
в супер серии 1972 года опекал В.Харламова и нанес травму ноги умышленно - хоккей ничего личного ! 😧
It was then
Pos human being. Breaking ankle of Kharlamov
Biggest cheap shot I ever seen
And Canada won
Clarke has more grit and guts in his pinky then Sindy Crosby has in his entire body. If I had a choice as a GM to draft either I would take the leader with the guts and work ethic then the overly talented whining baby that Sindy is.
damn right. crosby when he tries to act tough is a laugh.
if crosby played against the Broad Street Bullies he would have gotten killed lol
they didn't care who you were or who you thought you were, which made them the best
He had more grit and guts than the entire league does today,🤣🤣🤣. They play for paycheques now. Pride and honour were 70's and 80's era ideals which no longer apply today. From a Habs fan.
Most overrated punk ever. His diabetes made him some kind of hero for having a disease many thousands suffer from. His thug team was crap, all they did was gang up on anyone who was getting the best of a Flyer, including Booby.
you sir are full of crap!
@@denniskramer9657 Coming from someone who thinks Clarke is worth accolades that means nothing. Clarke used his diabetes to cover up the fact he was a dirty player.
@@wesleybarton6922 What a fuckin completely ridiculous comment. It doesnt even make sense! You are a chicken shit...he was a fearless warrior playing in a league that ate wussies. Like yourself.
That "crap team" won back to back Stanley Cups, and made it to the finals in a third straight. They are one of the best teams in hockey history. They had three Hall of Famers on that team, and should have been five or six. So, please stop showing you ignorance for the great game of hockey.
BEST EVER!
Way to ruin a great video put Gary Bettman in it. He ruined hockey why not this to.
I hated Clark and the Flyers as they seemed like goons and had no class.
You can't hate on a franchise that won two consecutive Stanley cups.
Everything at ed snyder said was b*******.. Bob Clark was nothing but a bully and he was no Legend at all
Bob Clarke was not a bully. A bully actually sticks around to fight his own battles, though he usually picks them with those he thinks won't fight back.
No, Bob Clarke was the asshole who knew all the bullies, and once he started crap he'd back off and let his bully buddies take over and clean up for him--Reggie Leach did the same thing, but his excuse was he had a problem not being drunk during hockey games. Aside from his actual skills Bob Clarke just spit out his teeth and loved watching his bully teammates do his dirty work.
And some wonder why Billy Smith tried to carve Clarke's face like a steak!
@@Inglewolf ok... Keep believing that
sounds like Crosby fans whining again.
The only thing Bobby Clarke taught us was how to cheap shot your opponent. I guess intentionally breaking the ankle of the star of the Russian team is OK for some people. He even bragged about it. Anyone who thinks this is the way to play the game has rocks in their head.
Joe C: Stick it in your ear Joey. I'm sure that you don't even know how to lace up a pair of skates. Clarke was well known for using his stickwork on the body. That's not "real hockey". It's assault with with intent to injure. And of course this pussy had his bodyguards (Schultz, Saleski, Dupont, etc.) because he didn't want to man up.. If you have to resort to cheap shots you're just a goon. Get your head out of your ass Joey.
johnny aa You miss the whole point why Bobby Clarke endeared himself with Philadelphia Flyer Fans - First of all he was a diabetic player and back in those times that medical condition was really hard to monitor especially if you were a professional athlete. When drafted he was a smallish under sized player with mid range skills BUT what The Flyers identified in Clarke was intangibles such as HEART WILL DETERMINATION LEADERSHIP SKILLS and the biggest thing about Clarke that " blue collar lunch pal WIN AT ANY COST ATTITUDE was contagious to the whole locker room AND most of all Clarke Hated To Lose MORE than winning itself - Bobby Clarke overachieved in every category and by extension The Cup Winning Flyer Teams overachieved SO Clarke made himself a great player by SHEER WILL DETERMINATION and HARD WORK - THAT WON THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA FOR LIFETIME - " And as for you cheap shot claims BOB CLARKE gave as good as he had received - SIT DOWN JOHNNY aa. BOBBY CLARKE was unbelievable leader and CAPTAIN in the "70's era of hockey.
Lisa Moreno: Excellent points Lisa. But for me the intentional injury to that Russian player negates all of the positives in his career. And to brag about I think shows a dysfunctional character no matter what he did on the ice. Thanks for your response.
johnny aa Hey John that's why sports is fun to talk about, everyone has the right to their opinion on such matters - And you have to remember that "72" series against the Soviet Union IT WAS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE " COLD WAR" - SO when Clarke slashed and the outcome was a broken ankle " I don't think too many people in the Free World were shedding tears over that incident" Anyway good hockey talk.
Riki That's your opinion " So What" - We here in Philly Love Bobby Clarke in what he brought to Philadelphia at the time. The city was starving for a championship of any kind and from any sport - Their is many sides to a player's game SO you say he has poor character AND the city of Philly would say " take a walk - we don't care." We are use to the hate of The Flyers and we still don't care BECAUSE This town supports our 4 EAGLES FLYERS PHILLIES SIXERS - We don't care what out of town people and critics say about are sports teams because we're to busy of selling out stadiums to support those teams WIN OR LOSE.
To finish that comment Clarke knew that kharlamov was the soviets best player and he broke his ankle to get him out of the series. Yet that is the way the canadian game was played brutal and to the hilt. Clarke was a perfect proponent if that style.
NOT a floating fairy like the pansies playing today.
