Pelle Lindbergh - Visiting his grave on the 25th anniversary

I visited Pelle Lindbergh's grave on the 25th anniversary of his death. I brought with me a puck which I left as a tribute. It simply read, "FROM ALL FLYERS FANS", and is for everyone that may never get the chance to pay their respects in person.

[@1962LIBBY]

Such a brief time Pelle. We sure enjoyed you.

[@harrycgrace4504]

Thank you. I'm still heartbroken about his passing.

[@nonmihiseddeo4181]

I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing when I heard those words, "Philadelphia Flyers Pelle Lindbergh is brain dead." It was supreme of you to make the journey and to leave a tribute for all of us. Thank you.

[@maryjaneblues4012]

I grew up in Somerdale, NJ & to this day the concrete wall he smashed into literally has his car grill permanently imprinted on it.I was 8 when he died & I remember it being a huge deal & my Dad was sad we are Flyers fans for life.R.I.P. Pelle. Thank u for the video.

[@dyanovitz]

Thanks man - this was a really nice video. I am from Northeast Philly originally and I heard there is a Pelle Circle in NE Philly over near Archbishop Ryan HS

[@Lawomenshoops]

With the passing of Swedish hockey pioneer Borje Salming, I thought of Pelle! The Flyers were off to such a great start in the 85-86 season. The Broad Street bullies were the reason I became a hockey fan and a flyers fan! So, when Pelle gave a great speech about Bernie Parent when he won the Vezina, I became more of a fan of Pelle.

[@The_Marketsurfer]

I just drove by the school he crashed into, I stopped at the stop sign and just stared at the steps he crashed into. Thanks for this video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@13MikeTravels]

It goes to show that this guy was a part of Philly he did more than just play for the team.i was a kid and still remember the news report of the accident. I'll never forget you 31

[@storyofcory]

I was about 15 or so, myself, when Lindbergh passed away, and being from Wisconsin, didn't really have a "favorite" hockey team. I just remember feeling really sad for the Flyers and Pelle's family and friends. He really was an exceptional goalie. 💔

[@maryjaneblues4012]

Same I was 8

[@indierockyhockey]

I was a late teen...was playing street hockey with my brother and his friends when word came through. Will never forget

[@Jolii94]

I was also there today and I saw your puck. I thought it was a very touching tribute by you. I left a flower and an engraved stone with the words "We'll never forget you", but it was pitch dark so I didn't get any good pictures. Thank you Stockgnome

[@nickyviolaguitar]

Great Player! No doubt the Flyers would have won another Stanley cup if not for his un timely passing! Rip # 31 Flyers nation Loves and misses you..

[@AlainPelletier-j6u]

I m not.sure and I'm.a.Flyers fan!! The Edmonton Oilers has a truemendous power team in the 80's

[@MW277j]

Thank you from Flyers fans everywhere.

[@notyoursavior78]

I wasn't even born when he died tragically but I've heard a lot of stories about him and did my own research. This is a beautiful tribute. Thanks go out from this diehard Flyers fan!

[@Sakurafire1]

A beautiful tribute. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for doing something we all wished we could do.

[@cwe1923]

i was at the spectrum,march21 and march 24 1985 flyers won both games, i can still hear the roaring in my ears of pelle pelle 29years ago .

[@horkguy16]

Pelle's the reason i became a goalie, although nowhere near the talent he had. Pelle Lindbergh was my childhood idol. R.I.P..

[@tracym1208]

[@theredhat13]

This was absolutely awesome. From a Flyers fan here in Philadelphia, PA, USA (unable to visit Pelle's final resting place), I thank you.

[@holoholopainen1627]

The Planes fly - soon again after Corona is Over ! I take the Ferry to Sweden - East of Sweden !

[@dennis78382]

God Bless Pelle. Passed away 26 years ago today. What a pleasure to watch. Thank you for everything.

[@Dave_Stubbs31]

Beautiful tribute.....thank you!

[@braddiprose2053]

Just came across this video; very touching moments. Pelle was a special talent, and this is a fitting tribute. Well done.

[@simonmarshall19]

31 will never be forgotten . He was great .

[@indierockyhockey]

No one will wear the number again, but they can't officially retire it because of how it happened. A lot of people have made the same dumb decisions. This one turned out horribly

[@CircuitLurker]

Thank you so much! R.I.P. Pelle I still miss him...

[@chadzohn1634]

Great video thanks rip 31 gone but not forgotten

[@alexmee3524]

Dude I completely agree RIP Pelle

[@TimTruax88]

Thank you -Flyers Fan R.I.P 31

[@MartintheMetalhead]

I wen to his grave last Month as I was stopping over in Stockholm to see where Greta Garbo and Quorthon of Bathory were buried. @0.16 is the smaller cemetery where Quorthon rests. Nice work. This cemetery is awesome to visit during the winter

[@rodmunch4879]

Pelle’s and razzle from Hanoi rocks deaths were horrible.

[@indierockyhockey]

WXPN just did a Hanoi Rocks tribute a few days ago ❤

[@bonnieakridge6149]

Is everyone forgetting he was drunk driving when he crashed? The Coliseum was where they practiced in the daytime but it was also night club after hours that I knew well.

[@geslinam9703]

they loved the Coastline too....and what was that other after hours place in the area? The more “low rent” one?

[@indierockyhockey]

I agree stupid drunk driving... No excuses, but awful just the same.

[@misterferret]

Thank you from a flyers Fan back in Philly.

[@Kjuggs1]

Thanks alot from this Flyers fan!!!

[@TakingtheFall71]

this is awesome of you to do this.

[@Sammikens]

Thank you.

[@flapjackrabbit]

Excellent video. Really felt like I was there too.

[@351974gordon24]

He died in a car accident. He hit a stone wall head on in his Porsche on November, 10 1985. He was pronounced brain dead, and died the following day. :-( I still miss him to this day.

[@geslinam9703]

The stone wall was in front of a house, in a residential neighborhood, and the accident happened after leaving an after hours bar. It think there were two other people in the car with him, but can’t remember if anyone lived.

[@rodmunch4879]

Serious question. Why is the train announcement in English not Swede? Thanks.

[@morgan-ho4yr]

its swedish...next stop forest cemetery

[@KenDonnerkennykensson]

Well done.

[@tylerdurdonxx]

@TakingTheFall71 Can anybody tell me who Ann Christine Barlund was?

[@danielkarlsson258]

Maybe a little late :D But it is his big sister who died of cancer.

[@AlainPelletier-j6u]

Poor Bob Froese and Darren Jensen they're a lots of pressure on theirs shoulders after his accident. No chance for both guys

[@mikeiyc]

Does anyone know who the woman name is on tombstone?

[@morgan-ho4yr]

His sister

[@dyanovitz]

@@morgan-ho4yr Oh gosh - sad - she died in 1987 only 2 year later - also probably very young. That is tragic

[@morgan-ho4yr]

@@dyanovitz she had cancer, even during the years that pelle established himself in flyers, as I heard it

[@indierockyhockey]

Holding the family in the light. Incredibly sad

[@tylerdurdonxx]

@MrFlyerGuy Oh thanks. Any idea how she died?

[@TotalMishap]

She?

[@holoholopainen1627]

Who are You talking About ? Pelle ?

[@nycdweller]

That was real decent of you!!

[@777RockNRollin]

Don't Drink and Drive !!

[@indierockyhockey]

Yup. It was way more acceptable unfortunately at that time
