Last Champion, The The Life of Fred Perry by Jon Henderson
For fifty weeks a year, Fred Perry is more associated with the laurel logo and leisurewear that bears his name than his tennis exploits. Then, as Wimbledon returns, and the British hunt for his successor, he stands again as a sporting great. Through research and interviews, this title tells the remarkable story of a remarkable man.
