Dansk LA Lager advert from the 80′s featuring Ian Botham.
Sir Ian Terence Botham, OBE (born 24 November 1955) is a former England Test cricketer and Test team captain, and current cricket commentator. He was a genuine all-rounder with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in Test cricket, and remains well known by his nickname “Beefy” While a controversial player both on and off the field at times, Botham also held a number of Test cricket records, and still holds the record for the highest number of wickets taken by an England bowler.
A talented footballer as well as a cricketer, Botham had to choose very early in his career whether to play professional football or cricket. In March 1980, in an effort to get fit after an injury, he joined Scunthorpe United football club, where he played as a centre forward and made 11 appearances in The Football League.
On 8 August 2009, Botham was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Skol Lager advert from 1983.
Skol is an international beer brand. Allied Breweries of the UK, Labatt of Canada, Pripps-Bryggerierna of Sweden and Unibra of Belgium formed a new company called Skol International in 1964. Its aim was the creation of a world-wide beer brand, Skol lager, which could be licensed, manufactured and marketed across the world. Since then participation in the company has changed.
Skol is the most popular beer in Brazil, originally produced by Caracu, which was bought by Brahma in 1980, which in turn became Ambev, then InBev and later AB InBev. Carlsberg holds the license outside Africa and South America.[3] Unibra holds the license for Africa.[4]
The name is related to the Scandinavian toast “skål”. For a period, the Hagar the Horrible cartoon character was used for promotion.
The merger between Allied Breweries and Carslberg, created Carlsberg-Tetley’s, who now brew the beer at their brewery in Leeds.
