There was a feature a couple of months ago in Snooker Scene magazine where Roger Lee met Patsy and presented him with footage of him winning the Dry Blackthorn Cup in 1977. I could be wrong but I thing Patsy's collection may have been given to him by Roger.

Thanks for those clips Spike. I have seen precious little Patsy Fagan footage but have read about his very light "finger tip" grip on his cue. I wondered how it would be possible to hold the cue so lightly and play well but watching these clips, Patsy seemed very much in control of his cue. I wonder what he teaches in his coaching regarding the grip?
I think the 1977 Dry Blackthorn Cup final (Fagan/Higgins) was the first time ever that a televised final was contested between two players still in their 20s. If fact, I think you have to go to the 1984 World Final (Davis/White) before this happened again.
