He's very lucky to have.a special friend like Orr because most addicts burn all their bridges to family and friends till they have no one but a park bench. Very sad and destructive for all involved
just watched the next video. tribute to sanderson.i saw the guy play new he was really good.but upon watching that video realised I had forgotten just how really good he was.another thing this guy came to the bruins at 18 or 19 yrs old.was a tremendous clutch player. fucking guy was a big time playboy to.most guys would give their right arm to have lived his life.errol Flynn on skates.toast of the town at twenty yrs old.that could ruin alot of people
@NamIsIll Derek Sanderson has been clean and sober for many years, is a stockbroker now, and a mentor to young athletes ... so they don't go down the same hellish path in life that he found himself on.
I will tell you what, Derek was a great all - around player. He could score 25-30 goals a year; he was a good play-maker; one of the NHLs best face off men; good penalty killer; played the power play effectively; strong skater; and did not take a back seat with rough stuff. I read a writer say his persona was so much bigger than what he brought to the ice. I agree the persona was huge, but he was one really good hockey player. For the exception of Orr, I would have started a team with him; even over Espo.
In the Junior A final. Everyone knew Bobby Orr. Derek’s dad said two players will be remembered for this game, Orr and the guy who fights him.Derek started the fight and they were great friends and teammates. In the mid to late 70s with new hockey with more money than brains, Derek became the highest paid athlete in the world playing for a new Philadelphia franchise. It went bankrupt so Derek came back to the NHL.
It's another case of Sanderson stealing Orr's thunder: the statue unveiling is for Bobby but the press huddles around Derek. Esposito noticed this first saying "hey I'M THE GUY WHO SCORED FOUR GOALS! but the press always interviews HIM"...
Sanderson was one of the Best players in the nhl.first string center on 80%of the teams in the league. and all that as a vicious alcohol and drug problem ravaged him.rookie of the year.should have rivaled Bobby Clarke's carreer very similar players I saw them both and would say Derek was probably the better player,and that says alot.i CUS Clarke was a he'll of a hockey player
come on tomorrow the guy won two cups and was a big part of those cups too.but yes left a lot on the table do to booze.people don't realise just how good Sanderson was.
wow Sanderson looks about 1,000 years old in this video. I wonder if he was drunk when he made all those blind homer calls during his time as the bruins color man .
Solid human being... After all he went through, he has such a great view of what life is all about.
I was extremely fortunate to have met both of them, and found them to be great guys.
"SANDERSON TO ORR!" "ENOUGH SAID!"

Derek should have been in the statue similar to Doug Pederson with Nick Foles for Super Bowl 52 vs The Pats. Derek threaded Orr a perfect pass.
Been sober for years
