"I have always loved bad boy Derek Sanderson. This book showed a glimpse of Derek the man, which we didn't always see when he was in his heyday. Reading this book made me very nostalgic, especially since I hadn't heard so many of the players and coaches names since the 70s."

    " Solid autobiography. I particularly liked the early Bruins days and the stories surrounding the misadventures during his rise and fall. Owning the bars, the nightlife, the injuries and mistakes. It's great to see Derek turn it around and re-invent himself. "
