Over the course of his 20 seasons, the man nicknamed Red for his hair colour would win a total of eight Stanley Cups, while also taking home four Lady Byng Trophies and one Norris Trophy. In 1969, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and his no. 4 jersey has been retired by both the Maple Leafs and Red Wings.
