Anthony Saputo Inter-Continental Greasy Pole Champ

I caught up with Anthony Saputo, the Inter-Continental Greasy Pole Champ.  Anthony won in Sicily and Gloucester which makes him a greasy pole legend in his own right but in the upcoming video we speak about other greasy pole champions, who he considers the best seine boat crews of all time and gives some props to the unsung heros of the Fiesta.
