Golden Boy of Centre Court; the

How Bjorn Borg Conquered Wimbledon

Beschreibung

In 1976, a young Swede named Bjorn Borg put a stranglehold on the Wimbledon men's singles title that proved unbreakable for the next five years. No one in the game's modern era had ever pulled it off and only one, Roger Federer, has subsequently matched it. The Golden Boy of Centre Court tells the story of that phenomenal sporting achievement.

Autor

Graham Denton spent most of his writing life as a children's poet and anthologist and was twice shortlisted for the CLPE Poetry Award (CLiPPA), before turning to non-fiction sports books for adults. From the mid-1970s to the early 80s, like millions of other Wimbledon watchers, he enjoyed an annual fortnight-long love affair with Bjorn Borg. This book, Graham's third for Pitch Publishing, is his overdue attempt to rekindle that romance.
