"Bill Gadsby was a classic hockey player and a class guy." "I've always been a fan, but this book brought forth a lot of information that I was previously unaware of. Great book. I'd recommend it to any fan or collector." "He played his entire career during hockey's golden era. Can you imagine if he were playing today the publicity and recognition he would get for retiring as hockey's all time defensive leader in points, penalty minutes and games played. This is a terrific book and Bill and Edna are both Hall of Fame people." "Bill Gadsby never received the credit he deserved. He was one of the great defensive hockey players in the history of the league. One of the best players I ever played against." "In the era of hocley toughness, Gadsby was one of the toughest. I saw his back once, full of belts and bruises and scars from cross-checks and slashes from enemy hockey sticks, and Bill just played on despite." "Gadsby could play both ends of the ice expertly. He was one of the most versatile, durable and artistic players I ever watched. I have fond memories of my time spent in Ne York with Bill and Edna." "Bill was a great team player. He played the way you want defensemen to play. He moved the puck, and people in front of the net. He got hit and blocked more shots than most goaltenders." "I've given you an untarnished name, keep it that way!" |
