Superstars: Jacks vs Thompson (pt 2 of 4)

[@ibuk4309]

Legendary 💪💪loved this series ,never happen nowadays ,current athletes risking injury for a TV show .

[@geoffdillon4637]

Old school. Brings back so many great childhood memories. Jacks was super human. And I think he’s still going strong.

[@howey935]

Brian now runs a bar on the outskirts of Pattaya in Thailand. I went there in 2019 and he entertains the customers with magic tricks. He’s a really nice fun man.

Bring this back now! Rooney against Mo Farah... we need to know.

[@noelmadden1920]

Farah would need 6 months notice and a visit from Salizar!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Iconic show, iconic theme tune.

[@quizman1967]

Thank you for uploading this. What athletes they all were.

[@BG-pd6os]

huge RESPECT, Thompson clean and jerks 270, weighing 190, honestly he could do 20 pounds more, what an athlete!

[@lukessummerguitar]

Daley was only 21 here... Brian Jacks was 33

[@festerdowney]

Brilliant. Thanks for posting

[@felixmyballs]

Back when sportsmen were real sportsmen & not overhyped "ooh I've grazed my knee" £150k a week tarts...........

[@chad0x]

Imagine if brian jacks had a proper rest between lifts?

[@parkerclay]

great stuff! have anymore footage?

[@hazelwalsh3269]

Daley Thompson is a better athlete than all of them! And would have won the whole show easily if he had faced jacks head to head in the Cycling... It was very unfair to make him race on his own..He should of had someone to race! So sasifying to see Thompson beat Jacks in the weightlifting’s!

Moronic comment

[@mortalitysfatal3229]

Thompson was allowed to let jacks wear himself out??

[@nfelvis68]

Did anyone notice that Daley didn't clap Jacks when he cleared his weight. Yet Jacks went over to shake Daley's hand when he beat him.

[@tonmisty]

Daley was a great athlete but could be a twat in his attitude.

[@vantheman1238]

nfelvis68 yes noticed that at the end. Thompson didn’t look at Jacks when he shook his hand. If a man gets up to shake your hand then the least you can do is look him in the eye and acknowledge the gesture.

[@mortalitysfatal3229]

Always an arrogant tosser

That was Vein-bursting - classic stuff

[@marktlog]

"John Sherwood, 34 years old, wins an event" it's not like he's 60

[@JasonRadley]

Was that Richard Pryor?

[@hazelwalsh3269]

Boo Radley Daley Thompson you muppet! Greatest ever decathlon!

[@ant2312]

@@hazelwalsh3269 hardly the greatest

11.53: Good idea: Spot the heavy clean and press. Bad idea: spot it with an open cradling hand out stretched like you are trying to catch a chick falling out a nest. The days before health and safety RULED!!
