Ah, fond memories of Wimbledon.
My first year, 1965, I was on number 1 court. I'm not certain but I think Tommy Hill and Jimmy Street were there too. Before play started we would form up 2 abreast and lead the line judges and players in. I remember one day we had the idea of having a bit of a laugh. When did we not?! So we formed up and ran in. We did a circuit of the court whilst the crowd stood and applauded in anticipation. We then ran out again! Oh, boy, did we laugh.
The next year I was on Centre court and had one or two memorable moments there too.
On one occasion, I don't remember who was playing, a player played a forearm smash and the ball headed straight for the crowd. Without thinking, my cricket experience kicked in and, I leapt into the air and caught the ball with one hand earning a trickle of applause.
The other occasion was an end of day mixed doubles match. Again, I cannot remember who was playing except for one: Nicki Pillich (sorry if spelt wrong). I was on the net and he hit a shot into the net, much to his annoyance. I pelted across to pick up the ball and, at the same time, he flung his racket on the ground. It bounced up. I grabbed the ball with my right hand and caught the racket with my left, stopped, gave him his racket and carried on. The crowd erupted. I got a look of thunder from Mr. Pillich.
