According to distributors COMAG Specialist: For almost 80 years, Britain has annually pinned its hopes on its best male tennis player to win the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, emulating the late, great Fred Perry who claimed Wimbledon victory in 1936.
While some players have come close, especially in recent years, the long 77-year wait is finally at an end – Andy Murray has made sporting history and inspired a nation!
Reaching the semi-final stages every year since 2009, Murray has been Britain’s best hope in recent years and following his defeat in the final last year to Roger Federer, many fans and pundits wondered whether he would ever achieve Wimbledon greatness, but he has!
Since then Murray has won Olympic Gold at London 2012 (beating Roger Federer on Centre Court at Wimbledon a month after Wimbledon), win the U.S. Open in September, made the final of this year’s Australian Open in January and now he has won Wimbledon!
To celebrate this great achievement, Magnificent Murray will be an 84-page souvenir magazine with features and photographs taken from the archives of the Daily Mirror and Daily Record newspapers, looking back at the life and career of the history maker.
Taking readers back to his early days in Dunblane, Scotland, where he first picked up a racquet, through his early career and progress on the international circuit, Magnificent Murray will chart the rise of Andy Murray from schoolboy to the pinnacle of world tennis.
As well as telling Andy’s life story, Magnificent Murray will have reaction from friends, family, celebrities and sporting legends about Sunday’s victory over Novak Djokovic, with pictures of both the final itself, as well as the unbridled joy that greeted his success.
Sure to be a must-have souvenir of one of the greatest British sporting achievements of our lifetime, Magnificent Murray will capture the moment Andy inspired the nation!
