Vostrikov10 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Hi ! I'm a Red Wing fan from Bolzano , Italy. From early 80's till late 90's we had a former Red Wing player, Bob Manno, playin in Italy for different teams, including my hometown team Bolzano Foxes, and Italian National Team. He won several championships here and participated to many World Cahmpionship tournaments as well as different olympic tournaments. I know he played for the Maple Leafs and for the Red Wings team, and was voted to the All Star Game once. I wold appreciate if somebody could post a photo of Bob, wearing a Red Wing jersey, since I couldn't find any on the web. Thank you very much and go Wings !!!

Vostrikov10 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 You are welcome. Was the nickname for his antics on or off the ice? I think it was just because of his eyes and his way to look to opposing players ....... he scared them !! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
