1978 English Greyhound Derby Lacca Champion

[@paullevett4982]

What nostalgia! I well remember my first Derby final night in 1980 at White City. I was in awe of the place…. the immaculate all turf track, brilliant track lighting, colourful huge tote boards….. and the 30,000crowd! How Indian Joe won it from Hurry on Bran that night after an injury scare the week before was just something else…… wonderful memories of the greatest track I’ve had the privilege to get to visit!

Looking for the 1979 English derby when Sara's bunny beat lacca champion

[@ashingtoon]

@mwanacomete I have written to TV companies such as BBC and Tyne Tees who tell me that they destroyed most footage after it was televised due to space!!! Can you credit that!
