Fred Perry

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Now 75-years-old, Britain's greatest men's tennis champion this year celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first of his three consecutive Wimbledon singles victories.
In conversation with Gerald Williams , Fred reflects on his life in tennis, recalls the days spent in Hollywood - he once played doubles with the late Sir Charlie Chaplin - and talks of his 'strange love affair' with Wimbledon, marked this year by the unveiling of a statue of him in the grounds of the All England Club.
