[Ads-l] the full monty, 1975

[Stephen Goranson]

Thanks to Pascal Tréguer (he of wordhistories.net), who kindly informed me of his find:

  Evening Standard (London), Monday 22 September 1975, page 39, column 1:

Cheryl [...] is boxing’s leading female ringsider [...].
Sitting or standing Cheryl delivers a non-stop barrage of encouragement to Chris: “Give it the full monty,” she yells. “For Christ’s sake, Chrissie, get those bloody hammers going.”

S. Goranson

His (UK?) version of newspapers.com apparently has different coverage than the Duke U. one.
