There is now a match from Paris with Jon Guil Don versus Anton Tejero available via the Segunda Caida Blogspot. As far as I know none of his UK matches are on You Tube.

Looks like he didn't fancy European barbers. Arrived UK with cropped hair and by now, in this match, he's a shaggy dog.
I've heard Anglo Italian banging on against this fella for the last twenty years. Now I see why. Incredible, a unique wrestler so obviously I can say, "I've never seen anything like it."
The second match is now on You Tube and is probably better than the first.Even get some blood
FYI, there's one more match to come.
Well it's great to finally see him in action. The real star of the bout was Tejero. What a bump machine. I think if I was a kid, I would've thought JGD was the greatest thing i'd ever seen. But it's clear he's very limited. Very impressive agility, not much else. Good in small doses.
Very entertaining bout.What a great 'selling' opponent who spent more time outside the ring than in it. Tejeros agility belied his stature indeed.Almost two years on from when we first seen him.I can remember three tv appearances versus Rocco,Steve Haggerty and Bob/Mick Abbot. Saw him live versus Maurice Hunter and if I remember rightly in tag with Kung Fu.May have been Belle Vue circa 74/75. Was he the most talented wrestler we have ever seen in the UK?Certainly up there with Dynamite Kid and Starr.
Great stuff,a real treat to see JGD,who was way ahead of his time.Thank You

Brilliant! Been waiting for this for 47 years!
First of all, I just love the Spaniard opponent. He's a Steve Logan body double, just the same stance. But there the similarity ends. No way would Logan have hurled himself repeatedly over and between the ropes and, memorably, into the fourth row of ringside seaters. What a sprawl!
I suspect it's no surprise he's Spanish: they were probably able to plan without language barriers.
The exhilarating memories of Guil Don are confirmed. But it's a one man show, almost to the point of being comic.
Great to see him in action; I wonder if he ever suffered and sold opponents' moves.....
