A most wonderful story Habs...you know, the sports players should always have time for the fans, and the kids...after all, were it not for the fans, the players would not have big, big salaries...

Sadly, today, it seems that for many of the top sports players, sports is first of all a business, and then comes love of the game, a far second...and thats truly so sad...

But glad to see that Bobby Hull was such a great guy, and such an ambassador to the fans, that he was so mortified by his brothes behavior, and whats more he did something about it...

Some of the sports players of today, should take note of the gentlemanly behavior and good will and love of the game, that was so evident in the sports stars of yesterday, and is often so obviously lacking in the sports stars of today...

Jean Beliveau retired 31 yrs ago, yet it probably the most revered ex-player in the public square today, and its because he has always been grateful for the indulgence of the fans wherever he goes.He is known around the world, which continues to suprise him, but the younger sports stars know of him, his legend, just as Johnny Unitas was an icon to so many.These men came from another era when their image meant so much to them and earning the respect of the paying fan was paramount.
