Original Toronto Star caption: Still popular, National Hockey League great Bobby Orr may be retired, but he still is popular. This was proved yesterday at Oshawa when he practised with Leafs in a benefit performance. He got no peace as fans asked for his autograph whether he was on the ice or the bench.
