    Must have failed because if it worked they would have made Henry Cooper a superstar and multi millionaire.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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...
