I'd won the Australian Open twice, but winning Wimbledon takes something special.

I never thought I could win the French Open.

It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.

I won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 1980.

I'm not necessarily proud of the World Cups and the grand slams won or lost, the amount of points I scored, this record or that.

I've always felt a bit hard done by in England - you know, I've won the Bisto three times in Ireland, but it has felt like nobody has even heard of me in my home country.

The most satisfying accomplishment for me was winning the British Open in 1996. But the most rewarding times were the times on the mini tours.

But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.

I remember when I was younger taking more pride in Wimbledon than the French. That and the U.S. Open - they were the ones I wanted to win.

As a kid, I remember John Daly bombing it around St. Andrews in 1995 to win the British Open, and people say we are similar in a lot of ways.
