Didn't know this before but apparently Don Whillans was the subject of an episode of This is Your LIfe many years back, possibly around 38 years ago.

I'm guessing this would have pre-dated video recorders though. Does anyone remember this?

In reply to phil kelly: Not sure if this is any help Phil, I think Thames bought the rights when they took TIYL from the BBC, Thames is now LWT/ITV

I presume you know that Don whillans is alive and well and living in Liverpool. In fact, he posts on here and you can often see him at Awesome Walls. Sadly, he hasn't lost much weight, though.
