and every day or two his name bobs up in a prominent place in the dally paper sport pages milt dunnell devoted his column in the toronto star to bob in one j he reviews bob s career as follow you might as well hum we have no bananas as refer to robert john goldham as the gol- den boy its just another way of dating yourself that golden boy label belongs to the era of gordie drillon bucko mcdonald and nick metz its a product of tflfe historic season that saw hap jay spot the detroits the firs three games in the stanley cup gambols and then knock the champagnefilled basin out of their hands in the lives of men it was only the day before yesterday in hockey careersit s a mighty long time robert jol has been to war since then survived that and the chicago black hawks the other day whei he was in towh with the red wings who brought him across hockey s railroad tracks goldham spoke warmly of the chicagos as generous and considerate bosses after all it wasn t their fault entirely that tneir hardworking employees sel dom got a look at playoff cheques i suppose i was disappointed at first to discover the leafs could get along without me goldham ad mitted but i coiddnt afford to worry about that i had just been married and i wanted bigleague pay the leafs looked to be pret ty well set on defence they had jim thompson jbijl barilko wally stanowski gus morton and garth boesch when mr smythe traded five of us to get max bentley and cy thomas i was down in pitts burgh i realized the trade meant another chance in the nhl and i always will be grateful to the black hawks for that another chap who didn t show in the deal but who probably was a factor in it was pat egan the rug ged irishman who nailed qoldham with a hodycheck one night as he came off the boards bob was hit so hard he suffered a fracture of both bones in hs arm the injury required bone grafting and four metal screws to put goldham back together again leafs filled the gap in their lineup by calling up a cocky greenie named bill barilko who didnt take long to make it obvious hed be hard to displace when goldham got well re broke arm on rlopelle s head not long atcr he was sent to chicago goldham stumbled during a game with canadlena he broke the arm again by whackngu on rip rlopelle s head what actually happened was that one of the screwnails had come loose and the sudden jar caused a hairline frac ture but everyone put two and two together it added up to five the almost unanimous decision was thdt conn smythe had unloaded a brittle player on chicago as part- payment for bentley it was pretty well agreed that goldham was wa shed up that is an encouraging reminder for young hockey players who suffer injuries which jeopardise their hockey careers no person ever got more morbid notices than goldham when his arm was broken for the second time it hasn t both ered him since especially when he s been reacning for those play off bonuses as a member of the red wings he left the hawks as he had joined them in a mass deal it was called the biggest in hockey history jtarry lumley jack stew art al dewsbury pete babando and don morrison all went to xhe chihawks after ftarly 10 years goldham had landed in detroit where he was intended to go in the first place roy mason mana ger of the guelph juniors who then were part of the detroit sys tem had gone to goldham s home town of georgetown to sign bob he arrived about two weeks after young mr goldham had departed for northern vocational school in toronto as a ward of the leafs the thing that bothered me about the shift to detroit was that i was the only defencetnan acquired by the wing goldham grinned that meant i was supposed to take the place of black jack stewart who in my opinion at least had been the no 1 defenctnan in the league goldham t sull very much around black jack is gone so aie most oj the four who went from toronto with bob in the bentley swsrp ernie dickens gaye stewart gam bodnar and bud
