REBEL WITHOUT APPLAUSE : JOHN MCENROE
John McEnroe, 1981 Champion of Wimbledon, enfant terrible of the game and the most controversial sporting figure for decades. He's the master of service without a smile, the most widely abused and consistently misunderstood, misjudged and mysterious figure to court triumph for years. The menace of tennis and the master of disaster. He's the man who made Wimbledon choke on its gin and tonics and soured the cream on the strawberries.John McEnroe is also the world's most devastatingly brilliant and riveting tennis player. . . with more guts, steel, verve and nerve than anyone else in the racket.
