Bill Barber
The finest winger in the history of the club is Bill Barber, a hall of famer, the franchise's all-time leading scorer, Bobby Clarke's left winger, a significant component of two Stanley Cup victories, a former team captain, and a vicious forechecker.
He has at least 20 goals in each of his 12 seasons with the Flyers, with 50 goals in the 1975-76 season.

He participated in six NHL midseason all-star games and was twice selected to the NHL Second Team and once to the NHL First Team.
After missing the whole 1984-85 season due to injuries, he announced his retirement in 1985.
The Flyers didn't retire Barber's number until a year after his induction into the Hall of Fame, unlike other Flyers who had their numbers retired (Ashbee, Parent, and Clarke). The Flyers' No. 7 was worn by Jay Wells, Craig Fisher, and "The Great" Brian Dobbin in the years between Barber's retirement and the club retiring his jersey number.
