We All Know about The Handful of High Profile Matches between MICK MCMANUS and
JACKIE 'MR. T.V.' PALLO!!-These have been Extensively Discussed on This Hallowed Forum
for Many Years!
1967 was a Year when Several of These took place!
The usual routine was to REPLICATE these Bouts at Some of The Largest Venues in The
Country!
The ROYAL ALBERT HALL Showcased One Such Encounter in This Year!
Sorting Thru a Big Pile of My FLYERS Recently I came across This Amusing Bill for The
DE MONTFORT HALL in LEICESTER in 1967!
It's The 'FIGHT of a LIFETIME'!!
On the REVERSE Side of The Flyer We find 2 CARTOON Caricatures of MICK and
JACKIE- 'Squaring Up'!!-A Proper Novelty and Collectors' Item!!
Not Sure though what the 'Music' Signifies at the Top??
MAIN MASK
Fascinating byline: "Regarded by Southern critics as Europe's greatest." Talk about a churlish Yorkshire promoter!
And then he describes him as the most popular tv star. Didn't Norman know he was the man we loved to hate?
Popular! With Mick McMichael on the bill!
Love the caricatures.
"If you were the only girl in the world, and I were the only boy...."
Anyway, that was the warm up bout for the rematch. Spot the same foursome in the car on each bill.
