[@johnhoward2481]

OMG. You cannot help but love Gretz. Great interview Mr. Patrick. The world is so much nicer with #99 in it. Thanks for everything Wayner!!!

I was at Gretky's first WHA game at Indianapolis. We were so psyched that we got there like two hours early and were sitting in our seats about 20 rows up behind one goal. We were sitting there talking about about the game, excited and a young man in a suit came and sat directly in front of us. He just sat there by himself and stared at the ice. My buddy suddenly whispered "That is him! That's Wayne Gretzky." And it was! I remember we wanted autographs, but couldn't find an f'ing pen. After 5 minutes he got up and left for the dressing room I presume. I have thought about that moment a million times. He was sitting there deeply absorbed in his own thoughts. His first game. I wish I could have a chance to talk to him about that moment. I'll bet he remembers it. Kinda glad we didn't have a pen and just left him alone. And then the game. He was the most awkward skater I ever saw and yet he always wound up around the net. He never scored. I don't think even an assist, but goddamn you could see that he was different and special. It killed us when the Racers sold him to Edmonton.

Great story Ken because you witnessed a historical moment in hockey history . It's interesting that you recalled how Wayne was wearing a suit before the game . That seems to show Wayne's professionalism at the very beginning of his professional career . The main reason why I am taking the time to reply to your comment is because ... I appreciate that you were considerate enough not to interfere with Wayne's need to prepare for his first game in the WHA . Besides , do you really need an autograph ? People usually want autographs in order to have proof that they met a famous person . However ; if you have become a man of honour ... a man who is known by his peers for always speaking the truth ... then why do you need an autograph to prove you had that experience when all you need is to give your word ? Peace and good health to you ... Miles from Canada ... a friend of Walter Gretzky who is a man of honour .

[@waynejohanson1083]

Even back then, could you see the greatness in him.

[@pm5359]

Walter let me and my girlfriend at the time (1999) into his house. Spent an hour and a half with him. Such a wonderful man. Wayne had a great role model .

[@rogerm2420]

You could see Patrick and his crew thoroughly enjoying the interview...No one like Gretz☝️

[@badbill6492]

My favorite person in 🏒 Hockey.

[@badbill6492]

I'm a Blues fan and revealed over Gretzkey most of my youth as a hockey player my self who inspired me to play. The times I can recall are only the best !

[@demarcdegasol]

Gretzky is hammered here

[@JCtheglazier]

Gretzky is hammered everywhere.

[@michaelnevins8820]

Hammered when he scored all 3k points give or take. The great one.

[@bradleybalshin2858]

Wayne + class = #1..

[@titancribbing3363]

I grew up in Stratford to and believe me Wayne is way more important then bebs. Got to me Wayne in Fort Mac a few years ago and got to see the biggest collection on 99 gear around.

[@scottreynolds8816]

Jesus Saves...and Gretzky puts in the Rebound!

[@dudeok5978]

Scott Reynolds This expression was originally used for Phil Esposito.

[@miles6593]

When did Jesus play in the NHL ? I didn't know that a Latino had played in goal ?

[@danrandall794]

I hope no one missed that he called Gordy Howe the greatest player ever.

[@boazk.5823]

4:04 There is a deer just listening in and walking behind Gretzky in the background.

[@garyaustin4733]

[@Njliving22]

[@andynesbitt7706]

Nice photo bomb by the deer.

[@geedubb-q1u]

Ya, I think they know that. It’s called a “joke”.

[@deputysheriff2643]

Hahaha He's drunk as fuck. Wayyy too excited n chippy compared to the historical Wayne interview. Seriously Wayne's been hittin it hardddd that morning

[@mikey-domagala]

Exactly my thoughts 😂 somethings goin on with his mouth too.. not slurring, but slight slur.. I don’t even know 😂

[@BedrockLeadership]

Jerry Buss had a legit PhD in Chemistry. His title was not honorary.

[@woosteppa7017]

All the goats wanted to be baseball players, MJ and Wayne

[@garyaustin4733]

wait...What? you meant they ALL want to be Golfers... right?

[@musicman76enator]

The Great One sounds like he may have a cold or something.

[@tomulizio178]

[@Darkestdarkify]

I apologize could you clarify why Bobby Orr is not on this list?

[@garyaustin4733]

@@Darkestdarkify hmmmmm Wayne 'clearly' states Gordie Howe best ever . 5:10

[@frankdavino7701]

My god ...he looks like Ty Cobb

[@helpmenow7]

Looks like dad now

[@budziwizer3169]

HE said the greatest player ever played Bobby Orr

[@garyb7262]

Yeah that’s called humility. It’s hard to spot nowadays because athletes are self promoting self indulgent braggart blowhards Athletes today aren’t taught this way Maybe hockey players but that’s about it Too much me me me i I i
