This remarkable sum marks a new world record on the Littlewoods treble chance football pools. The image captures Colin's elation as he receives his life-changing cheque from none other than George Foreman, the legendary World Heavyweight Champion. The event took place at the prestigious Connaught Rooms in London on March 21st, 1973.
