A great player, who always seemed a gentleman unlike some others of his era. He and Nastase were my favourite players. Nastase was a bit of a naughty boy, but I loved watching his antics.

He was certainly no gentleman!
Nastase was funny to watch though.
Funny guy, and a bit of a genius. He was like the Paulo Di Canio of the tennis courts.
I was one of the younger ball boys, in my 20's, but some of other guy's were early 40's. During one particular match, Nastase turned to the crowd whilst pointing at poor old Paul, standing in the corner, and said "look at that ball boy, he's old enough to be my Grand dad" to which the crowd roared with laughter.
Of course, for the rest of the week, Paul was the butt of endless ribbing from his fellow ball boy "mates".
