Who would you include in this list

[711ofovertime]

If you were to collect ten classic players autographs for your personal collection who would make your list:

1-4 are easy (Gretzky, Orr, Howe, Richard) but 5-10 are who I am interested in. Mine might include:

5) Bobby Hull, 6) Jean Beliveau 7) Phil Esposito(1972 baby) 8)Mario Lemieux 9) Ted Lindsay 10) Paul Henderson (see Espo)


Who am I missing??

Patrick Roy, Marcel Dionne, Milt Schmidt and Mike Bossy immediately come to mind.

Henderson and Lindsay are toast, Bossy and Roy replace them. Otherwise, same list.

I still haven't figured out the appeal of Paul Henderson. Maybe it's because I was around for the 72 series but the guy's career is known for scoring two goals and one good week. I don't understand the appeals for election to the hockey hall of fame. If the WHA players were allowed to play, he might not have even made the team.

He probably would not have made the team in 1972 if not for the exclusion of Hull, Sanderson et al but he is in my list because what euphoria he brought to our nation and he has been a classy personality ever since.

Bossy is great(obviously I love the Isles) but Terrible Ted was just nasty!!

Although most would'nt agree with me I'd say Grant Fuhr.

Thanks,

Wow... some of you guys are planning on spending some heavy duty coinage for your list! Personally, I could never just pick 10 since I love autograph cards of just about anyone.

No Flyers? Where's the Clarke? Oh, wait...Islanders fan. I'd add Messier as well.

Vegas - I liked the Flyers a great deal and Bobby Clarke was one of my favorite players! He is on my list just not at # 10!
