FANTASTIC - thank you _I've wanted to see this again for decades! It's amazing how many Welsh people (I'm Welsh too) have said down the years that a) they saw the whole Louis fight and b) Tommy won it and was robbed. When I've pointed out that they can't have seen it, because only highlights were ever shown and they must have heard it on the radio, they always, every single time, denied it!! And of course, despite Tommy's great attempt, Joe deserved to win - his first title defence, therefore some time before he became a legend.
Shared a few pints with him in his local, the garibaldi in Burnham, Bucks. Lived there with his sister in his elderly days. Very few locals knew who the little old man in a suit was unfortunately, 1970s 80s
Great upload. The first and last time I saw this documentary was in 1983. The great Tommy Farr.
What a wonderful man and a great Welshman
What a delightful gentleman, he exuded warmth and approachability! Never realised he was a singer, lovely surprise that!
Welsh Warrior what a Gentleman
