Is it just me or does that announcer sound like John Madden?

@fenderjaguar1985 haha that WAS John Madden! lol he used to announce alot of the pool matches... He was into that quite a bit..

I agree!! When i last talked to Flora Mosconi (Willie's Wife) she told me that their daughter has "Willies Stroke" and "use of english".. She said that her daughter could actually play as good as Willie could but Willie Absolutely would NOT let her make a career out of Playing pocket Billiards!! He made her go to College and "Get a real Job" lol.. But he said it was "no life to have".. He only did it cause he was the best and thats how he put food on the table all his life...

I used to fantasize that every driver on the road had a dart gun. Every time some idiot would pull stupid stunt, other drivers could fire a dart into the back of his car. Pretty soon you'd know who to stay clear of because their trunk would look like a pin cushion.

Wouldn't it be great if we could mark the douche bag Youtubers like that?

You want to know what the most annoying thing is about Youtube? The phenomenon I call the "anonymous expert." You know who I mean. They are the total fucking douchebags who come on here and claim they could have beat the subject being showcased in the Youtube video, or they critique someone who is recognized as one of the greatest players of all time, implying they are somehow better than the person in the video, or they will state "that was good, but if he had done this, it would be better".

@Odhinn222, what are you smoking? Gimme some! You think the World Championships were "handed" to Willie? Get real! How do you explain his 1945 World Record of 527 Consecutive Ball Run? Did Brunswick make a "special" table for all the balls to roll in automatically? Hahaha!

Incredible footage! Thanks so much for finding and posting. Willie was/IS my hero! Due to myself winning pool tournaments in Dallas at the ripe old age of 14, I got to meet Willie when I was 16, in 1971, at Mickey Finn's in Arlington, Texas.  I got his autograph, and had my picture taken with him. One of the high lights of my life. Thanks again, and like you said, Vintage Willie IS hard to find.

God blessed Willy with extraordinary mental and physical talent including a NATURAL STROKE and AIMING abilty. In his early 80's, he did NOT need glasses! WILLY earned every one of his Championships against the BEST of His day. Players had to qualify to play in long "BLOCK TOURNAMENTS". No one can change his accomplishments. Willy Mosconi has the HIGHEST HONOR in POOL ---THE MOSCONI CUP for many reasons!

SOUTH PHILLY gave birth to the greatest name in POOL! God Bless Willy!
