Would you like to add any further information?

I would like some help, I am trying to obtain video's of the centre court match's played in the year 1954/55 has I was ball boy on centre court for this period, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Webmasters Note: I have tried to get past video's from the BBC and British Pathe News. The BBC say most of the TV coverage was live so they do not have a lot of archive for that period. ITV/British Pathe News do have a lot of archive material but charge about £1,500 for private use. Any information that is in their archive can be seen at www.britishpathe.com
