Winning At Wimbledon

Well remember Wimbledon. Went there every year, sat in prime position on the centre court and saw the greats, from Becker to McEnroe, Connors and LeConte and they were all thrilling.
Cliff Richard singing in the rain and ducks on the covers. Sitting around waiting for the action to start, six strawberries for a fiver and big buckets of sweeties.
 Saw Fergie flirting and Diana dazzling.
Ann White in her skintight catsuit. Stuffy officials in a frenzy. Martina unmoved, saying,"Let her tennis do the talking." It did. Out she bounced, but the lads loved it. Boris wore see-through shorts and the girls got lucky. The tennis was brilliant, supreme skill, effort and stamina, truly awe-inspiring. The best of the best. Patient fans waited all day, for the chance of a ticket as somone left early. Not many did.
It was fun and it was free for me. Just  two weeks a year in the life of a Sun reporter. Happy days.
