Robert Evans

He was kind of skipping out a lot of the time, even from the jump.

Now, this is important.

Because every version of the Jimmy Savile story includes him being horribly maimed in a mining accident, which is why he stops doing the work.

However, I can't say that this really happened or when it would have happened.

He gives different dates for when this mining accident happened every time he talks about it.

He claims to be a different age when this happens every time he talks about it.

And he gives kind of differing accounts about how it happened.

His initial claims about how bad this injury was and when it happened simply can't have been true because the age he claims to have been when he was – and he says this is serious enough that he's basically unable to move right for months.

This can't have happened because the age that he does that, we know that he was participating in like a bike race through France.

There was a post-war like a big like bike marathon basically, and we know he's in it.

So it can't have happened then.

It's really it's unclear to me what actually went down here.

I found a CNN article that describes him as having suffered a serious spinal injury.

And Jimmy did keep a surgical support jacket that he said he was made to wear as he was recuperating from the injury.

So he probably got hurt to some extent.

But again, the timelines he give us just doesn't work with the things that we know that he was doing, like participating in the first tour of Britain's cycle race in 1951.

If he's injured when he claims he was, and it was as bad as he claims he was, it can't have...

happened the way he said it did because of the other things we know that he was doing so i i don't know was he actually hurt in a mining accident did it was it a minor injury or did he just stop going to work one day and later lied about having been badly injured in order to like because that's a better story than i just kind of abandoned mining um

He said in 2008 that he'd been hurt after working for seven years as a Bevan boy.

And that's impossible.
