Roger Taylor & Marcus Buckland

The Man Who Saved Wimbledon

Now in his 80s, tennis great Roger Taylor has witnessed the transformation of the game – from the days of Fred Perry to the Andy Murray era and beyond. 

In conversation with sports broadcaster Marcus Buckland, local resident Roger will share his story of a dramatic career that came tantalisingly close to winning Wimbledon and brought success and heartache on and off court.

‘As a 17-year-old rookie it was not until later in my career that I fully appreciated Roger’s sportsmanship at Wimbledon.’
Björn Borg
