Re: PPV in the 1960' and 1970's
60s TV in the UK was weird. I always thought then Division One matches did not start being shown on TV live until the 80s; but they actually started showing them in 1961, but it did not take off and was stopped...Must have failed because if it worked they would have made Henry Cooper a superstar and multi millionaire.
