I doubt there’s any footage of Donaldson out there. Unless the BBC have something in their archives they’re not letting on about. Same with Pat Houlihan - what we’d give to see him in action.LDS wrote:gninnur karona wrote:Enjoyed watching, especially the old black and white footage.
Thanks. This one is just a sort of rough'ish first draft. I'm hoping to update it again after the 2023 WSC with improved pics for some and maybe tighten up the pacing and length.
The hunt for footage of Walter Donaldson playing at some point in his life is probably a snooker historian's holy grail. So if you ever see something like that, even if it's just trick shots or when he's 60 or whatever, quickly drop it in this thread!

Not 100% sure but the ‘This England’ documentary (its on YouTube) has got footage from one of the early Crucibles and I think there’s a snippet - just a snippet, mind - of Patsy on that; not playing a shot, unfortunately, just walking round the table.
Seeing proper footage of Patsy is the Holy Grail to me

To think they might have saved coverage of obscure matches in the world championship from the 1970s is probably fanciful.
But even if the have still got it, how does one get access to it anyway?
