Johnny Gottselig was my great, great uncle. I never net him, but he was the real deal.

A leader on and off the field that kept learning, kept promoting and kept working to develop others!

Met hi. G😊ot his autograph. Classsss❤

went to a 7/11 to get his autograph. was sitting outside by himself got the autograph picture. he was the face of the franchise with Stan and Tony after Bobby left.

What a nice tribute to a great great man. I only got to meet him once, but that was all I needed in order to know what kind of person he was, and he was an absolute Prince of a man. RIP Maggie.

My favorite LEAF player! Could do it all; fight, hit, and score. GO LEAFS GO in 2023-2024 season. Add some big, tough and skilled players! That is the recipe to going far in the playoffs.

He’s my grandpa

Let me pick fights with European players not used to fighting and pretend I am tough. Got him hero worship from dumb Canadian fans. I mean what did he win? He was no Clark Gillies.

A great athlete and a great person.

I went to an exhibition game & there were some players with their nose in the air but not Tiger, he grabbed the hockey card & signed it on the spot. He's a solid guy.

When he was a Leaf he would throw a lot of punches would go toe to toe when he got to the Canucks he became a grappler.

Saw this clown throw all the chairs out if the penalty box in Los Angeles a week after he gave Jay Wells a pussy ass dirty shot well was down on the ice tiger was supposed to befending vhis goal but instead skated back towards wells went by him and almost poked his eyeball out with the blade of the stick and the 3 blind mice didn't see shit so he didn't even get a penalty . But a week later they played at Los Angeles and as soon as Wells was on the ice at the same time he went right at him ,well tiger ended up throwing all the chairs from penalty box on the ice when penalty was over they hit Tte ice and went strait back to each other . Then everyone started to go after each other play was stopped so many times we got out of there after 12 midnight lije a double overtime game with no overtime they where handing out misconducts left and right but tiger couldn't stop so they got the worst of it , think Kings got to score 2 or 3 times and Vancouver where still 3 on 5 cause of the game major misconduct craziest game i have ever seen ,tiger usually did good in fights but not this time and he deserved it Wells almost lost his eye cause of the dirty shit tiger did a week before so Wells was waiting for him , we new it was going down that's why we went to that game they announced it was the most penalty minutes ever in a game but someone else got it after think redwings . games would usually end by like 945 to 10 this one was over at like1230 am just cause of all the whistles and the packed penalty boxes all night long . Almost forgot a week before after he almost took the guys eye out he acted like he did nothing at all worked on the refs but not on Jay Wells he tore up tiger the next week all game long even the goalies got fighting penalties ,but when tiger started throwing out all the chairs from penalty box on the ice that' was insane then penalty expired and they went strait at each other again for 3 periods after a while every one joined in tiger even wanted to go after fans . Almost got to the stands .so saw the most penalty minutes in a gane and the week before on tv saw the dirtiest shit i have ever seen in a hockey game almost carrier ending for Wells pretty sure tiger would of been done also few years later he was on our team .

That's 6 second call is still a fucking travesty

In Québec city we really love him

I was sad when the Nordiques traded away Sundin but absolutely loved Clark's time in Quebec. Great trade on but sides. Quebec got what it needed and so did Toronto. Was sad when Colorado traded him for Claude Lemieux.

Another Leafs blunder, letting Tiger go.

When you condone violence that's what you get. No fighting in hockey is what is needed. Please don't do this. Please don't do it. Pray everyday the lords prayer and may God bless you and your family and friends and their families and friends to the infinite

Fortune to have had Wendel in a Leaf’s uniform. Other cities have had better and more famous players BUT no Leafs player EVER showed more heart and determination. He could do it ALL…!!!

Great Ambassador on and off the ice Love you Tiger!

I saw Tiger Williams go in the corner after Normand Leveille and Leveille Buried him. He tried to do it again and Leveille Buried Him again. That was that. He tried to take advantage of a rookie but Leveille would have no part of it.

He's not a big man but you'd have to travel a long way to find anyone tougher or with more guts. See you up Whistler 22!

I'm in my early 60's and been watching hockey over 50 years and I'd say Tiger was the most entertaining Hockey player I've ever seen...he was ALWAYS FUN to watch.

Old Tiger has a good heart and it shows in the philanthropic work that he does.

Dave Tiger Williams- 1st class all the way.

Cpt. Crunch 💪💪

HATE the Leafs....LOVE Wendel Clark

While playing hockey at Albertan hockey Haven in Toronto, he was one of the instructors at the camp when you challenge me to a fight so I clowns around little bit with him. I had no idea who he was. I think I was 16 years old.

Tiger is a real memory for me, a real character.

Did he ever win a fight? Hanger on

His dad was a boxer in Wales

A great Leaf Captain...loved his game.

Damm good defenceman in Juniors

He was in that brawl in the World Juniors against Russia.

All heart. People may say I'm crazy but if I had a choice between having Gretzky on my team or Wendel, I'd choose Wendel every time.

I bought a jersey-style jacket & added numbers & name to make it a home jersey!!

Dude was tough as nails. Those playoff games vs L.A was one of the best series I’ve ever watched.

1 tuff son of a Bitch & who could help the team offensively 💪😤

Favourite player growing up he never took a night off. Always had to look over your shoulder for #17 getting you in his sights.

My brother was a Habs fan and we were watching the World Jrs and he was teasing me that the only guy we had for the Leafs there was Clark. I didn't pay attention to the draft back then so I didn't know him. As soon as Wendel got on the ice things happened and he scare the crap out of those Euro teams. My brother was getting sick of me because every time Wendel was on the ice I kept saying "Holy Shyt, we got this guy" With the battles going on between Quebec and Montreal those first few years of the 90s I read some stories from the Hockey News that gave me the impression Quebec and Toronto were going to trade. I was sure Quebec wanted Potvin because of Montreal's Roy stoning them. I thought the GM for Toronto was a fool because for sure Quebec wanted Potvin but the Leafs wouldn't part with him so they took the Wendel trade. I was sure that Potvin could have got them Sakic and Forsberg (they weren't famous yet) but instead got Sundin, a player I wasn't that familiar with. When you have Sakic and Forsberg it doesn't hurt so bad being fleeced by the Leafs who I think thought Wendel was done. I enjoyed Wendel game no matter how bad the Leafs were at times.

The Mathew Barnaby of his era

He had more heart,grit,will and desire than this entire current Leaf team.

I was thankful as an American and huge NHL fan to be stationed along side Canadians in Kuwait in 2015 when Tiger and a bunch of other hockey and football players came out to visit their troops and they played deck hockey with the deployed guys. I was glad I had that day off and could enjoy watching it all.

I have a Wendel Clark Leaf’s jersey and a picture with him signing it while I’m wearing it and with Ken Dryden in the background!

Tiger was one of those guys that you loved if he was on your team but hated if he played on the opposing team. Kind of like Bob Probert an enforcer that could score too

Trading away Wendel Was the beginning of the end of my Leaf and hockey fandom. The hiring of Mike Murphy was the end. You cannot trade away one of, if not thee most beloved Toronto athlete ever under any circumstances.

As a Coug grad in 1979 there was so much focus on good QB’s but Reuben was so awesome. I had pleasure of watching his outstanding performance against Oregon from the stands in Eugene. Breathtaking Thanks Reuben

Hey Wendel My wife got you to sign a Picture to "the Ultimate champ" It was to do with me and the brother in-law. Nothing to do with fighting. It was at Vandolders Windows up north. Thank you it ticked the brother in-law off. My all time favorite player.

Tiger was a badass! 🥊🥊🥊

The Tiger was always worth the price of the ticket every night. Went to many many many games while he played in Los Angeles and loved every game. The Tiger could turn the arena into a frenzy agitating and grinding it out on the ice. And the Tiger was an eve bigger agitator on the road which shows he was a gamer every night.

Bobby Hull introduced me to Wendel Clark at Bobbys private cattle auction ,plus a picture with him , then Bobby then Rene Robert just north of Belleville Ont , good guy 18 years ago or so ago , his fave beer , Coors Light...True
