Don Cherry’s Hockey Greats and More

Description

“Broadcasting icon Don Cherry is back to give fans more of what they want: behind-the-scenes access to hockey’s greatest heroes. For the last sixty years, Don Cherry has lived and breathed hockey–and his memories of the sport’s biggest stars are just as colorful as his wardrobe. Before “Coach’s Corner,” Don Cherry hosted Grapevine TV, where he interviewed the biggest names in sports. During his decade on the show, not a single player turned him down for an interview, and in this new book, readers will reap the benefits of that unparalleled insider access. Fans got a taste of Don’s Grapevine days in his last book, but Don Cherry’s Hockey Greats and More dives even deeper into the world of sports, with more unforgettable and revealing interviews with the most legendary players. Travel with Don to hear Guy Lafleur’s response to his most famous goal, Don’s take on coaching Phil Esposito through a rough year, and what Cam Neely thinks of the shot that ended his career. Meet Pat Burns and Joe Crozier up close and personal; hockey, baseball and boxing’s all-time greats; and even a jockey or two. This is Don Cherry in all his hilarious and frank glory, spinning his yarns with the best of them.”–
