Teď se Bobby Orr rozhodl promluvit o tom, co ho na cestě za slávou a úspěchem inspirovalo a motivovalo, jak se cítil, když ho agent, kterého považoval za bratra, zradil, a co si myslí o současném hokejovém světě. O tom a ještě o mnohém dalším. Kniha, která patří do povinné četby všech hokejových fanoušků.
