Bobby Orr seems like such a decent fellow.

Lil before my time, but I love watching Bobby Orr. His burst, his skating and puck handling. The man was just different.

Great doc! But BOBBY ORR!!!?? The man should have his picture in the dictionary next to the words "class" "humble" 'friend" and .."MAN"!!

Yeah you cant drink every day and play hockey. Its hard to play pick up hockey and drink every night.

Once the self destruct "gene" goes to work, that's it. Call a priest. Chisel the monument.

complete jackass, f'd himself, evidently ran in the family, lucky he's still alive while others younger are dead

great doc !

From Chicago I remember DS as a player with Boston. He was one of the most famous with Orr, Esposito, Cheevers, Cashman.

Wha traitor i will never forgive anybody who had the talent to play in the nhl but played in the wha forore money. Dont know why boston welcomed him and cheevers back with open arms

What a great story! I was a fan of Derek's from the time I was 10 years old. I'm so glad he was able to turn his life around.

8:08. What a cheap shot

Best sweep check ever!

Booze is brutal, i grew up with an alchoholic and it was scary.

Glad you made it Derek.

Loved hockey and the fighting until I grew up, then I moved on to the professional North American sports, baseball, basketball and football.

Anyone know where one can watch Sa nderson's talk show on the net? that could be some classic 70s stuff haha..being a beantown fan in the 1970s i will always have a soft spot for the Turk

The Turk was a tremendous help to me to quit drinking and drugging. I'll never forget him or the acts of kindness and leadership to me. Thank you Turk !!!

totally sucker punches that guy at 8:10 then continues to punch him on the ice when he's out cold. What a dirtbag.

I grew up and had no knowledge about hockey and my father was the go to contractor for both Derek and Bobby who are neighbors to this day. They were just my dad's cool friends

I grew up with Bobby and Derek having no clue who they were. Always were just family friends, and I had no clue what legends they are

God bless Derek and Bobby Orr.

Read his book "Crossing the Line" it's AMAZING and eye opening.

Everybody has their crosses to bear, '8 million stories in the naked city', blah, blah... Derek doesn't make excuses...But the ulcerative colitis, the prednisone & the deteriorating joints that followed, played a big part in his downfall...It was the 70's, he got caught up in the lifestyle, got carried away by the persona he created, that's his own fault... But he also used alcohol & drugs to self-medicate... as many people in chronic pain do...The point is that there were mitigating circumstances, largely beyond his control

Being born, raised, and to this day live in Boston, this was an incredible documentary.

Every time they showed Rod Gilbert, u can see the disdain on his face

I watched Sanderson through his entire Bruins career and my opinion he was a fantastic player only orr Esposito were better than derek.best penalty killer ever.and short handed goal scorer I'll heads up

I love how they call Derek 'aggressive' 'tough' 'feisty' 'a thorn'... LOL He was dirty! Dirty as a Flyer! HAHAHA Glad he beat his demons. He was the best TV analyst ever, (if you were a Bruins fan) . Derek was 'branding' before anyone was using the term! Way to go Turk.

Derek is a hero to many - well done !

I have to say I honestly really, really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much.

OMG what a story. I grew up in Boston and was a high school hockey player during #16's heyday. Loved the Bruins, every one of them. I loved his book "I got to be me" written at the time by Stan Fischer, who us Bruins fans hated at the time as he was from NY!

Wow what a life makes you stop and think what you can really do

22:20 "Yeah, he's my dad!"

Great story !

0:41 Breakaway 1:22 Johnny Carson 8:04 Cheap shot 8:23 Fight with Orr during Junior years. 8:54 Orr’s reaction. 14:56 I’m amazed he didn’t chop that guy’s head off. 11:03 Wow, some of those bunnies are not attractive at all. 18:57 Sanderson sets up famous Orr goal. 20:28 Stanley Cup looks impressive in size when held like that. 22:20 "Yeah, he's my dad!" 22:31 Babe 23:39 Johnny Carson 23:57 His own talk show. 25:14 Same babe. 44:34 Geoff Courtnall

That's Roger Sterling narrating.................

Very well done program with lots of excellent hockey footage. Great story with a good ending.

This guy had it all...smart..good looking...great athlete. He blew it...shame. This would make a great movie.

Was the Cheers bar based on The Daisy Buchanan bar? Anyone know?

Never like those kind of humans if that's what you want to call them

That's where they belonged the Nasty losers,liars,cheats,you name it bunch of crybabies

So basically the show Cheers just took his life and made it a show

People have no idea the person Bobby Orris and was.

Why’d this get emailed to me I dont even like sports I sit and play games and smoke why

Very entertaining documentary!

What a life though. Even though he had some very dark time, he survived so I'm sure it was all worth it.

I'm one of those kids...named Derek.

he was atrocious play by play

I remember seeing the first games of the WHA, they were laughable, it was slow motion. They got better of course especially with Winnipeg Jets with Hull and two Swedes and this young Gretzky guy

This is a great Video about Derek Sanderson as a legend with the Bruins, and even more as an inspiration to those of us that have hit rock bottom with their addictions, and came back to be a stronger and better person b/c of it. Derek has learned to help others the same way others, like Bobby Orr, had helped him in his darkest days.

I love this guy! I read his book and I'm so happy he was able to turn his life around! I grew up watching him as a kid. God bless you, Derek Sanderson!
