[spike]

I thought some of you maybe interested to see footage of this great match, with frames: 9, 10, 11, 12, 27, 28, & 29 that was not included on 'The People's Champion' on VHS. Picture quality varies throught, but still worth watching none the less.

Enjoy..

Love these, Spike. Got them on VHS but the old video players on top of the wardrobe. lol

How fast was Jimmy in that first session, when he raced away with 4 frames from 4-4 to 8-4! The Ladies champion, Vera Selby, in the commentary... "that shot really was played with gay abandon!"

"that shot really was played with gay abandon!"

Lol. That makes me smile everytime I hear that. Yes, Jimmy was majestic in the early part of the match especially.

As Jack Karnehm would say "poetry in motion" and that was Jimmy to a tee..
