Fighting Background: Farmer
was an amateur boxer in Quebec and was more known for his fighting
skills than hockey skills. Asked about Farmer's background for an
October 1969 article on NHL violence, Oakland General Manager Frank
Selke Jr. told Sports Illustrated: "I don't know if he can
skate, but he can fight."
