His was the first Northern Irish accent I ever heard when I saw him in Zcars, I thought he was foreign. Great actor.

I can't remember seeing this Bleasdale film before, Ellis plays a blind ex-boxer, but the story seems familiar, looks well worth a watch for the cast alone,

Not read the clip as it's too long but definitely recall No Surrender. Was quite funny at the time.

Was Jimmy Ellis the one who kept saying that the society's problems could be solved if a few more people were "battered" and : "There's not enough battering going on!" ?
 
No surrender is a brilliant film - worth it for Joanna Whalley alone!
A real A-Z of Scouse actors and a great cameo from Elvis Costello as a shit magician.

At the beginning these muggers go to attack Jimmy Ellis who is blind and with a stick. Jimmy kicks the shit out of them and beats them with his stick..... one of them runs away shouting ''no fucking need for that''
