I remember my Dad doing Littlewoods when I was a young lad, I think a collector came around every week. The image of a pools form brings back vague memories, no idea how it was played.
You marked "x" where you thought it would be a score draw. 8 goes per line. 3 points for every score draw. 24 points (8 score draws) = Jackpot or share of, depending on how many more winners with 24 point Easy peasy
My memory was 8 from 10 My Dad thought he had won back in 1972 we got fairly jolly but later realised it was half time score
This was the time when you were deadly quiet, or you'd get a good hiding from mother first, then dad when he'd finished ticking off the boxes. SERIOUS STUFF !
Grandad used to watch the wrestling then turn over for the football scores.. Dickie Davies David Coleman etc
I miss those Saturday afternoons of some of the best ever British TV. Here are two of my favourites. What entertainers they were. .
Watching wrestling on the telly was one of my mums greatest pleasures. Still remember some of the names, Vic Faulkner, Bert Royal, Giant Haystacks. God bless mum x
He was indeed. He against Giant Haystacks was a real treat... and fun watching the ring move around the venue.
Everyone should have gone to a LIVE wrestling event at least once back in the day. I did, just the once, and it was one of the most enjoyable nights out I've ever had. The screaming and cat-calling from the audience, the humour, and the genuine skill and timing of the wrestlers, was just fantastic.
