I hate to tell people on this video, but he will never be forgotten for his on-ice exploits. But his misdoings will also be remembered. Let's do this objectively.

I met Mr. Hull when he was spokesman for a local beer company. I was surprised at the thickness of his chest and the strength of handshake. He did have problems turning his neck so maybe he had a physical injury. Our community got only two or three tv stations so I didn’t see him play much, but as a avid hockey fan I certainly knew of his skills. As to his personal life I knew nothing and as somebody who is well acquainted with alcohol issues I can only feel sorrow for the man and his family. But I will remember him as the Golden Jet.

Around 1985 one of Bobby's sons was playing Senior A hockey in Brantford, ON. One Sunday afternoon Bobby showed up to sign autographs. Honestly, 90 percent of the people waited in line for an autograph in the lobby and missed most of the game. That's how popular he was.

Bobby Hull always made time after every home game to sign all the kids autographs. There were sometimes 50 kids waiting at the locker room door for the Golden Jet to make his appearance. That is what I will remember.

Alot of former players had alcohol addictions and issues bobby was a fan favourite. I met him a few times he was nice and a pleasure to meet.

He stayed with my old coach during covid In Lewiston NY... was a nice dude

Despite any beliefs, opinions or alleged domestic violence Mr. Hull had, doesn’t make him a “terrible human being”, it makes him a human. Nobody is perfect in anyway, not even the narrator. Lesson, don’t go around throwing stones from your glass house.

Are you any better speaking ill of the dead ? Guy would work his ass of for the game signing autographs till everyone got one. Once gave me a game signed stick in Winnipeg in 1976, Caught up with him again at a signing in Thunder Bay in the early 90's got him to refresh the faded signiture, he got choked up when he realized I kept the stick all along.....

Guy in video talking about Kane being accused of rape is a black eye for the Hawks. I guess being accused but the cops dropping it for lack of evidence doesn't matter.

I know dozens of people who either met Bobby Hull or knew him well. Not a one of them dislike him. That's how he'll be remembered by the vast majority of the hockey community. #HOF

To the creator of this video: At the 3:10 mark you have pictured Bobby Hull standing next to Stan Mikita's wife, while your narration was on Hull's ex-wife and her accusations toward him. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I am not offended by the narrative but I am offended that Mrs. Mikita (a wonderful woman) is pictured next to Hull on this video and the narration contains information about Hull's ex-wife. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Thank you.

You are comparing bobby hull who was born 100 years ago and dead to kanye west is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

I remember my mother talking how Bobby Hulls wife would come into the Victoria and Grey Trust bank in Belleville where my mother was a teller. Mrs. Hull would come in with black eyes and bruises... little Brett would be climbing on the counter. Everyone new who she was, very sad!

He seems like a pretty cool guy to me.

This is just an opinion piece… Whether or not most, or all of it is true, doesn’t really matter to fans who still love him just the way he was.

Hull Forever!!

What kind of jerk are you to kick a man when he’s gone.

''which greatl overshadows his on ice achievements''.... according to some nobody youtuber.

I grew up in Montreal in the 1960s and 70s. I do not have to tell anyone which was my favourite team! But I remember Bobby Hull so well. We love his powerful slapshot. Also he shared two things with Maurice Richard: the number 9 and often having an adversary team player assigned just to watch him. He was an amazing player. Is it true that he hit Jacques Plante in the face and Plante survived that because he was the first goalie with a mask? Is this urban legend?

that's too bad hearing this side of bobby hull, i only knew his hockey. i got to see him play against the bruins several times at boston garden in the 60's. before you could buy curved sticks we read in a hockey magazine how bobby and stan mikita were putting a curve on their sticks and we started doing it to our sticks. all those hockey players were heroes to us.

im cant finish watching this.

He probably did this...but most is He said She said....so...this vid should be pulled if not true.... Smear shot ...for sure

Everyone has problems. Bobby Hull had a really good side. A star on ice and a man who would visit children hospitals. Bobby was the pride of Point Ann Ontario. Respect the dead.

No wonder Brett wasn't in contact with him during his teenage and early career..

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone '.... Get a job Bud.

HE CHANGED THE GAME , RIP

Why put this video out now? You should of put this out a long time ago while he was alive & interview him, his wives, children & other people in this video.

I'll be remembering the hockey star, not the allegations..... Lets Go Buffalo!! THEEBUFFALOWARPIGS

I saw his last game in a black hawk uniform: game 4 of the 1972 semi finals at msg the rangers completed a 4 game sweep

I'm shocked to hear of this. I hope Brett isn't anywhere near the bad sort that his father was. I read Brett's book "Shooting and Smiling" years ago, and on thinking about it now, there were clearly "omissions"; very little info concerning his father and family life. I now understand why

Man why yall wait till he died?????

I will remember him as the great hockey player he was.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Crybabies are always looking for a reason to be relevant. You made a RU-vid video and this man helped build the best sport in the world.

Great player ... Don't care about his private and off ice crapp

He was a great hockey player and by today's standards, as a person, your garden variety Trumper. Nothing to see here.

Where did all the hair come from in his later years 😂

These examples, along with what happened with Penn State football and Schembechler's Michigan program are why I hate sports these days. And I worked as a sports writer for decades. I am glad to see a video be straightforward, not candy coating Hull's misdeeds. Well done.

Patrick Kane's rape accusation was pure BS. The girl's mother was trying to cash in.

pretty dumb to partly credit him with better wages, yes he got big bucks to go to WHA but the WHA ultimately folded, WHA tried to buy its way into being the main league and failed

Woah…the Golden Jet needs me?

Allegedly this allegedly that, credible accusations, quotes from Moscow 😂😂 . Great player , great guy , you have no proof of all the B S.

Bobby Hull is the greatest left winger that the game of hockey has seen period. What he did off the ice is irrelevant! This personal life is his business and no one else.

Love Bobby Hull!

Yeah but those Kane allegations were false and never had much of a stance to begin with

Bobby Orr must be a Saint ?

the cope in these comments jeesh

This is nothing new. It's been repeated far too often by people with nothing to do.. He made mistake like ALL of us and many who have never been brought to justice. File the story and find something important and meaningful to talk about. This is cheap gossip. This "Vagabond Hockey" pod should be talking about hockey. Also far too often people place celebs and athletes on a pedestal where very few belong...they're only people just like the rest of us.

What'd the Blackhawks do to make you hate on them so much...and I don't think it's unethical to present rumors and hearsay as fact.

There are things more important in life than career, money, and putting puck into a net. You can't take any of that stuff with you when you go. Problem is that too many think they will never go, so they view everything important as the "here and now" only. I.e."He made me happy because it's so exciting in the here and now to see pucks slapped into a net! So I rate a person ad great only on the criteria that he made me feel happy about seeing that..."

I don't believe any of that bullshit about bobby hull i met and he was a very nice man.

I remember him for his wicked slap shot

He just died, give it a rest.

This is your typical 2023 story! The Dude brought hockey 🥅 to the level it is today & if his own Son can forgive him? Who the f..k are we to judge a man who’s passed away! I’ve gotten into a scrap with a Cop because he treated as if I wasn’t on the same level as him? Him & all his little off duty drunk Cop buddies didn’t want to hear the truth to “shut the f up & sit down!” Because, ya know, they’re Cops so they’re above the law & the rest of us in their pathetic minds anyways. Once you start trashing him, I stopped watching! The guy isn’t even alive to defend himself! This is sooooo cheesy nonsense!

It's so easy to judge isn't it. Nobody is all good and nobody is all bad. Beating up women is wrong and in my opinion stupid and cowardly. I bet the alcohol was a contributing element, but there is no excuse. Nor does it have relevance to what he did on ice. Hull's opinions on race and whatever may be offensive but so what. He was never in a position to make laws or establish public policy so they were just words. People putting so much stock in the words coming out of celebs mouths seems stupid. I think you went with the low hanging fruit here. Claiming Hull was a horrible person because he didn't live up to present day social standards in the 60's really serves no one. But I guess one more cheap shot on a hockey legend who made a living while seeing plenty of cheap shots isn't the end of the world.

I focus on him being the greatest left wing in history.

Who cares about lies !! He's a legend !!.

Gitta trash the hockey great AFTER DEATH??? Wow aren't you a special person!

Didn't like him or his son.

You guys probably never saw Hull play. I did, as early as1961 in Toronto. Fast, and a shot so hard with a straight blade that Johnny Bower just avoided. Don't conflate two things. Mickey Mantle was severely hungover, and admits he was finished in 1962. WOKE, PC sideliners. Pity

This is All Garbage , all Hype ....

It’s easy to pick on a dead man an remember there is always two side to every story an then there is the truth!

Anyone believing crap like this is easily brainwashed...was he perfect maybe not but neither is any of us... he is human like us we don't always make great decisions in life but to defame him by saying he's a terrible human being is despicable plus show the proof where he done all this crap...we all know about opinions right ?...wake up folks and stop believing everything you see on here.

Accusation are often ammunition for woman.

Nothing more credible than accusations of ex wives... As for his opinions - many confused kids in 2023 could learn a lot from him.

Is that a mop glued to the Golden Jet's chrome dome...?

1970-71 Montreal Canadiens

What's in your closet?

No mention of him staying back for over an hour in the arena for over an hour signing autographs for the kids while the bus waited an hour for him Also no mention of The Bobby Hull Kids Foundation in Winnipeg where he donated a lot of money to it I also remember hearing about signing an autograph to a child and when he found out he was blind he got skates for the boy and took him out on the ice with him I don't think everyone will remember that way

Very biased piece. I always thought the guy was a little odd with that perma-smile but you sound like a bit of a gossip hound yourself.

Class ! Let's trash a man who just died and can't defend himself. I wonder what ghosts are in your closet ? RIP BOBBY!

Meh

So... He shared the same views as every American male of his generation?

Look, dude. You gotta understand what these types of guys were like back in the day. I used to play hockey with former pros, small town Canadian types and they all say racist and antisemitic stuff. I remember they razzed me and my father a lot for being Jewish and even made nazi swastika jokes. While it was not the best feeling at the end of the day in their minds they really were just joking even if they weren't great comedians. I mean, that's just what hockey dressing rooms were like. They weren't bad people at all. I'm assuming Hull was similar. He had a reputation for being aggressive. Him and Brett didn't get along for many years because he was probably very rough around the edges. Not fair to call him a bad person. Was he arrested ever? Did he murder someone? Did he steal? The allegations are just allegations. Women are very capable of starting fights too. Then of course if they push far enough they could get hurt. None of us know any real details and using the daughter saying 'oh, that sounds just like him' isn't proof of anything at all. I doubt he was a perfect person but he's dead now and can't defend himself while you call him a disgusting human being. I think it's way out of line. Maybe ask Brett what he thinks of your vid.

Well done! Very factual and truthful summary. 💯 👍 Awesome hockey player 😊 Terrible human being 😞

Now go do another video on another athlete, tv or movie star while they are alive & interview them & their families & friends! That would be interesting!

No like no subscribe. Its despicable to talk ill of the dead

Who makes you God. Do not look at someone else's splinter in someone's Eye when you have a log in your own .Go to your room.

What a bunch of crap, more BS from somebody trying to tear down a Hockey legend. You speak of his wives as angels, unbiased reporting a story without the whole picture and facts of certain transgressions on his ex wives part are not in your report, that’s wat they call being Bias,

Was he a flawed man with some character defects? Absolutely he was but….. I know two people that got to know Bobby Hull very well after he retired from hockey until his death. They have told me that he made amends to as many people he could before he passed away. I know this to be true and there’s a possibility that he made his peace with God and asked him for his forgiveness. That’s all a man can do after he did and said bad things. I do remember him and how he treated the fans especially kids. He was a great ambassador for hockey and his contributions to the game were legendary. That’s why he wound up in the Hall of Fame. When you make these types of videos, you do a disservice to your fellow man. As it says in the scriptures, “how can you see the speck in your brother’s eye when you have a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite!”

The wife beating is gross . But Hull’s based remarks actually make him even cooler in my book now. Think I am gonna get a Hull jersey and wear it to a temple .

The only thing Hull should be criticized for is the cheap wig he wore on his head. 😳🤭🤣

New nickname: The Golden Regret

Bobby Hull was so based.

hes human, those were the times

Cringe

Who cares. Took the time to talk to me when I was 10,then went back to the locker room and brought out a stick and gave it to me. What a thrill for a 10 year old!!!!

BOBBY HULL WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FONDLY AS THE LEGEND OF HOCKEY REGARDLESS OF YOU BASHING HIM! HE WAS A GOOD MAN!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

My main question is why are you going to trash a man that died like that’s disrespect on another level man

Hull was a flawed person. However, he will always be remembered for being 1 of the greatest Hockey players ever!

Had the worse RUG in the league. Still a legend...

Maybe if we had more players like Hull they wouldnt be wearing the LGBT shirts so proudly before games like they do today.

We never heard about celebrities personal life until the 2000's. There was no cable television before the 1980's, internet 1990's , and smart phones before 2007. The media just promoted them for what they did on stage. Now we know many many of the celebrities private lives.oh he'll still be remembered for his nhl feats. He still is in the top 4 Nhl

You have any references for these claims?

I have his autographed picture in my hallway

Bobby Hull was a great hockey player! And a great representative of ice hockey! The greatest game ever created! But, you really have to be at the rink to experience the game. Television doesn't do it justice.

Why drag Kayner into this? Thought that was crap.

Hull was a great player and a great guy.

He brought excitement to a game that people around here didn't know a blue line from a clothesline he was the man
