As Probert played as hard off the ice as on, he went through rehab 10 times, was suspended twice, was jailed for carrying cocaine across the border, and survived a near fatal motorcycle crash all during his professional career, and he wanted to tell his story in his own words to set the record straight. When he died unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 45 on July 5, 2010, he was hard at work on his memoir—a gripping journey through the life of Bob Probert, with jaw-dropping stories of his on-ice battles and his reckless encounters with drugs, alcohol, police, customs officials, courts, and the NHL, told in his own voice and with his rich sense of humor.. Documenting his notorious career with the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks, Bob Probert details in this autobiography how he racked up points, penalty minutes, and bar bills, establishing himself as one of the most feared enforcers in the history of the NHL
Hard-core Hockey Animal J. Scott Moore Bob Probert was cuffed with his hands behind his back. He was facedown on the ground with a cop's knee on his neck. Probert told him he was probably the fat kid in school that was always picked on, and that's why he became a cop. Probert's face was a mess after that comment. The worst part was that the cop took his $600 sunglasses.Tough Guy is the no nonsense expose that's part Animal House and part Slap Shot. T. "Four Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Interesting story.. A must read! I am a Leaf fan that hated Bob Probert as a kid. As I got older and Probert moved on to Chicago I respected him much more and appreciated his abilities. I guess that comes with age as I learned to respect Stevie Y much the same way even though I was sick to my stomach at having to watch the Wings win Stanley Cups. This is an excellent account of Probert's life told in his own words and I thought it was very well
