'From his precious vantage point, Bill recreates a world of gossip, lust and ambition, infused with sly humour and cultured judgment. This book is an ace!' Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal
Wimbledon Rogue is what happens when the world’s most buttoned-up sporting event is infiltrated by a mischievous tabloid reporter.
In 1996, Kim was sent to the Wimbledon Championships as a reporter for The Sun newspaper. He was not there to report on the tennis matches, but to dig up every scintilla of dirt and scuttlebutt that occurred away from the tennis courts. Kim discovered all the gossip, and the bitching, the petty rivalries and the back-stabbing. And, best by far, the laughter and the enormous camaraderie that is the essence of a Wimbledon umpire’s life. (Not so very dissimilar, actually, to the Sun newsroom of 1996).
