In the annals of hockey history, there are few players who have left as indelible a mark on the game as Bobby Clarke.

Clarke was a brilliant playmaker, a fierce competitor, and a born leader. He was also one of the most controversial players of his era, a man who was as likely to draw the ire of opponents and fans as he was to win their admiration.

Now, in the new book The Outrageous Story of Hockey Original, Clarke tells his story for the first time. Co-written with award-winning sportswriter Gare Joyce, the book is a candid and revealing look at one of the most fascinating and complex figures in hockey history.

Clarke opens up about his childhood, his early days in hockey, and his rise to stardom with the Philadelphia Flyers. He also discusses his controversial relationship with Flyers coach Fred Shero, his battles with alcoholism, and his eventual redemption.

The book is filled with hilarious anecdotes and eye-opening revelations. Clarke reveals that he once threatened to kill Shero after a particularly heated argument. He also admits to using cocaine during his playing days.

But Clarke is also quick to point out that he is not the same man he was 30 years ago. He has since overcome his addiction and is now a successful businessman and philanthropist.

The Outrageous Story of Hockey Original is a must-read for hockey fans. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of a man who overcame adversity to become one of the greatest players in the game.
