The incredible story of the life and phenomenal career of hockey's most legendary superstar, told through never-before-seen photographs.
Bobby Orr rarely speaks of his accomplishments as a hockey player. He doesn’t have to—his play did all his talking for him during his storied career. His was a style of seemingly effortless grace, a style that helped reinvent the sport of hockey.
Now, Bobby Orr shares his story through a personal collection of photos, inviting readers into different seasons of his life while introducing some of the people that filled these moments in time. We see him at home and in the dressing room. We are there the day the Boston Bruins first scouted him, at rinkside when he celebrated his first Stanley Cup with his father, and back in Boston the day his famous number four was retired.
Yet behind all the statistics, trophies, and public persona, is the man himself. There were losses to go along with the victories, disappointments alongside the accomplishments. Without the people around him, and without the many challenges he faced along the way, the triumphs would have meant much less.
Capturing not only a legendary career and incredible person, Bobby My Story in Pictures also brings into focus a different era. These photos chronicle not only the changing of the game, but also mark many significant milestones of his life.
Personal, thoughtful, and full of never-before-seen images of Bobby Orr and those close to him, Bobby shows the varied sides of a player who rewrote the record book. It is a public journey into a world of a very private man.

Bobby My Story in Pictures Bobby Orr Books Reviews
- Like his previous autobiography, I pre-ordered this book months in advance. Even though it is primarily a book of photography, it somehow achieves a much warmer and more intimate look at his life than the first book "Orr My Story," published four years ago. In "My Story in Pictures," Bobby gives us an engaging and affectionate look into his own life and the lives of those closest to him family, teammates, mentors, and friends. This time around, Bobby shares with us and, for all the sparseness of the written word, helps us to see his world as he experiences it. He's not as guarded and hesitant, and each new page, each new image of his life is a joy and a thrill to observe. He taps into the bedrock motivations of his audience to love his life and career, and shows us yet again why we are his fans. Put into hockey terms, this book is one of his patented end-to-end rushes, weaving nimbly around defenders like fenceposts, the puck bulging the net, the goal lamp lighting up the packed arena.
- I guess I'll be generous and give 3 stars, but maybe I should knock even more off for this disappointment
Super depressed about my childhood hero. I may never watch hockey again! I was on the fence anyway, but then started getting inspired to watch after reading a few pages of Orr's new book, Bobby My Story In Pictures. But then I skimmed the book. Page 204 depressed the hell out of me. Picture of him with the Bush family and saying they are a "wonderful family, with a wonderful legacy of service to their country". This can only be true if ones definition of "country" is "me and my rich friends". The middle class and poor must belong to a totally different country. Also, I did some Googling about his politics and see that he donated in Massachusetts to help stop the legalization of marijuana. Lesson don't get to know your heroes too closely. They may disappoint!
Orr seriously should have followed the age old wisdom of leaving politics out of his book.
Also, very odd but many pages with photos don't have captions saying who or where they are! Just out of context photos. Not to mention, a lot of blank space. One small photo on a whole page with mostly blank white.
Update changing to two stars because even ignoring that he seems to like political monsters, it's not a great book. One can't be great at everything, and one thing Bobby is not great at is writing. I've read his other books also. And the photos are disorganized and not labeled very well. Oh well. He should have had more help. - This book was amazing! It had let̢۪s of pictures af the Great Bobby Orr and his Family growing up to the present time. It was worth every penny !!I loved it great job Bobby Orr & Co
- Love the book especially the man. Grew up during his time in Boston. Love the size of the book. Recommend it to any Boston Bruins or hockey fan.
- My husband is a huge Bobby Orr fan but not a big reader. He was very excited about getting this book, began reading it immediately and was very pleased with it.
- I also preordered this book, and while I enjoyed the photos and captions, I wished the pictures had been dated. I also would have liked to see more game action shots.
- This book is incredible! What great photos!...DGB34
- I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He dove right into it!
