Profile

Kevin is a quiet, reserved chap with an under-developed sense of self esteem. He has a very happy family life which he tries to marry with a fairly busy real tennis court. He was a good lawn tennis player as a junior but real tennis became his strength. He still enjoys playing real tennis, although he says his style of play can be seen in Jurassic Park! Kevin started at LTCC in 1968. His headmaster at school had been, in earlier days the Latin Master of the secretary of LTCC, and they still kept in touch. In 1972 he left his position as tennis professional and joined the Nat West Bank (West Kensington branch). In 1976 the current LTCC pro returned to Manchester and Kevin rejoined the club as head professional.
