Vintage UK Super Ball commercial. Featuring the late Tv personality (and sexual predator) Jimmy Savile



Dear Sphaeralogists,

I wish there were no association between our beloved brand and this despicable person, but during the initial launch of the brand in the UK, Jimmy Savile was a beloved and popular TV personality.  History has obviously changed our understanding of the man, but at the time, this was a savvy business partnership.

In any case, here is the commercial from that period.

Sincerely,

The Founders
