Robert Gordon "Bobby" Orr, OC (born March 20, 1948) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player, widely acknowledged as one of the greatest hockey players of all time. Orr used his ice skating speed, scoring, and play-making abilities to revolutionize the position of defenceman. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for 12 seasons, starting with 10 with the Boston Bruins followed by two with the Chicago Black Hawks. As of today Orr remains the only defenceman to have won the league scoring title with two Art Ross Trophies. He holds the record for most points and assists in a single season by a defenceman. Orr won a record eight consecutive Norris Trophies as the NHL's best defenceman and three consecutive Hart Trophies as the league's most valuable player (MVP). Orr was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979 at age 31, the youngest to be inducted at that time. After his hockey career he became a well-known scout for many professional teams. He also spends a lot of his time talking to and mentoring young exuberant skaters.
Bobby is a nickname for Robert, Roberta, Robin, or Babu.

Remember the pre-cable days huddled around the old black and white TV, fidgeting with the antenna to get WSBK TV38 to come in to see the Bruins? And who can forget doing a jig to the opening tune by the Ventures ("Nutty")! These clips are a little "grainy" and seen best when viewed in the smaller screen but they are a reminder of the days of watching the Bruins before NESN. And, of course, the best Bruin of them all (and greatest all around player ever!) wore Number Four - Bobby Orr!!
For years Boston fans noted that Bird stared at the Garden ceiling during the national anthem. He never said why, and no one asked. Then, during this speech, Bird explained he was looking at Bruins great Bobby Orr's retired number 4 jersey as a source of nightly inspiration. One Boston legend talking about another, gotta love Bird.

In a rare and wide-ranging interview, Orr reflects on why he avoided the media coverage of his career, whether there's still room for creativity in today's highly-structured game, and why those t...

Center of Attention: The Unreal Life of Derek Sanderson” follows Sanderson as he wins two Stanley Cups alongside his friend and teammate Bobby Orr, becomes a nightclub owner and coast-to-coast celebrity, widely known as “The Joe Namath of Hockey,” and signs what was then the richest contract in the history of pro sports, only to lose it all in a haze of booze and drugs. Sanderson’s addictions almost killed him – but that wasn’t the end of his story. He would emerge from the darkness to undertake a comeback few believed possible.
Fresh off their first victory of the 1966-67 season Bobby Orr and the Boston Bruins travel to Chicago to take on the Chicago Black Hawks and Phil Esposito.
I didn't see this anywhere on YouTube so I thought this was worth sharing. This is Side A from an LP released in 1970, I think. It's very scratchy and there are acouple of skips that I've edited out. One, just before 13 and a half minutes and another around the 14 minute mark. And it's in Stereo!! Enjoy.
If you had it all, if you had nothing at all
What would you do, not to see your tears fall
Sleeping so still, with a little time to kill
Drink down this thought , swallow this pill
And the world would not move, to let me cry and sooth
The ink would never dry on page, tears fall on words I say about you
About you, about you, about you
Days are just lonely, days are just only
Used up like school books, forgotten like fools, fools
It's a distant constellation dying, In the corner of the sky
I'm not looking for a miracle, just an explanation why about you
About you, about you, about you oh
About you, about you, about you, about you
