Description

In this informative biography of Britain's most successful tennis player, historian Kevin Jefferys brings to life Fred Perry's strong personality and casts fresh light on why - despite his status as world number one in the 1930s - full acceptance of Perry among the British tennis authorities remained elusive until long after he retired.
