    Yeah man, just stumbled onto it. I'd never heard of it, and completely forgot that Formby did movies aswell as "standin' by the lamp post on the corner o' the street in case a certain little lady waaaaaaaaalks byyyyyyyyy".....sing it with me...."ooooooo meeeeeeeee, oooooooo myyyyyyyyyy, I hope the little lady comes byyyyyyyy"

    Had a stiff right hook on him (actually he was a right fiery fucker too by all accounts)

    Nice - but I suspect it was not actual racing footage - probably fiction is my guess.
