Q. Which squash player do you like watching the most?
A. I love to watch Yawar play. He has great skill and he always gives
100%
Q. Who is the best squash player you have ever watched?
A. Here at Grove Park there have been all sorts of famous, highly
ranked and talented squash players. In the old days we used to hold National
and International tournaments which brought in the best in the world. I think
that one of the best players I have watched must be Geoff Hunt. His athleticism
was incredible.
Q. What three words best describe your squash game?
A. Lousy, rotten, abysmal
Q. Which squash player would you most like to beat?
A. I can't say but there are plenty of people down on Mondays that
I'd like to have a go at.
Q. Do you have any claims to fame?
A. Not many people know but I used to be a top fencer. I have fenced
the Northern Counties and also at England level and I also used to coach the
sport too. I don't do it any more - however if a squash game started going
the wrong way I'm sure I could use some of my old techniques with my squash
racquet.
Q. Do you have any squash ambitions?
A. I'd like to carry on playing squash until I am 75. (Which he
has now acheived. So what next, 80?)
Q. What's your greatest squash achievement?
A. Not really got any great achievements. I nearly beat Bob Ashton
in the Handicap tournament once - back when he used to be good. (Did he ever
used to be good? - ed.)
Q. You have done a few things for the club over the years haven't you?
A. Yes, one or two. I have always supported the club in whatever
ways I could. It is a great club and being a member here is fantastic. I served
on the committee for twelve years in the position of Treasurer which was a
great honour and allowed me to put a little back into the club that gave me
so much pleasure.
Thanks Ron for taking the time to answer these questions.
