Walking Together Forever: The Broad Street Bullies, Then and Now - image

Rank: 129161
Fred Shero, the head coach of the teams forever remembered as the "Broad Street Bullies," chose the hours before Game 4 of the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals to inscribe this on the locker room blackboard: "Win together now and we walk together forever." Well, of course, that team went on to win not one, but two Stanley Cups.

Shero could not have been more prophetic.

Thirty years later, members of those Cup teams are still revered in the city of Philadelphia and throughout the hockey world, for that matter.

In Walking Together Forever: The Broad Street Bullies Then and Now author Jim Jackson wants to bring people back to those glorious days of the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup championships through the telling of so many of the incredible anecdotes that emanated from the many memorable characters that created the glory.

Walking Together Forever: The Broad Street Bullies Then and Now will follow the major principals of the Cup wins, taking readers through the remainder of those heroes’ hockey careers, into retirement, and up to the present.

Many of the stories of their personal trials, travails, and successes since hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup are as compelling as those from the championship years themselves. In the eyes of hockey fans, members of those teams have indeed "walked together forever."
