‘The Rockstar Of Tennis’ by Arthur Steel Paper size: 20 x 13 inches / 51 x 33 cm Framing options available. Björn Borg, the first ‘rock star’ of professional tennis surrounded by doting fans at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Note: Image unearthed January 2013. Published Text: Borg-Mania Plea to Girls – Lovesick fans of Swedish tennis idol Björn Borg have been told to keep calm at Wimbledon. “We don’t want to turn Wimbledon into a pop concert,” says Major David Mills, secretary of the organising All England Tennis Club. He has written to more than 60 girls’ schools asking their headmistresses to use their influence to keep the girls under control. At last year’s tournament, hundreds of teenage girls mobbed their 18-year-old heart throb every time he appeared. This year Major Mills is taking no chances with Borg-mania. Extra stewards and police have been called in. “It’s very disturbing for the players and annoying for the other spectators who come to watch the tennis,” he said. Camera: Leica 35mm.
