RIP Bobby, 84 is a long life though.

A fantastic hockey player who gave legitimacy to the WHA when he joined the league. As we found out later, not exactly the greatest human being off the ice, though.

My first favourite hockey player. I was pissed when he jumped to the WHA. And he missed playing the Soviets because of it. Had to wait 2 years for the lame WHA attempt.

I was so happy to get this book for Xmas 1987. Promptly taped this picture inside the front cover.

That should’ve read 1967, not 1987.

He was my favorite player when I was 10-11. I was collecting on my paper route back then and he came and answered the door (he was in town visiting with a local car dealer. I was kind of in shock.

A little trivia: what number did Hull wear when he first joined the Black Hawks?
