Great White Whirls into
9Telecom Legends
 The
World’s hardest hitter is looking forward to smashing his way
through the field at the 9 Telecom Legends of Squash tournament
that will take place at St. Georges Hill LT & SC.
John White was recorded at 172 mph a few years ago at the
ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic and anyone who thinks he has
lost that power might want to cover their ears when the big
hitting Scot comes to town this weekend.
Despite taking up a coaching position at Franklin Marshall
College in the USA, White will be looking to show he hasn’t lost
any of his destructive game when he takes on rivals Peter
Nicol, Jonathon Power et al. Indeed the brand new
all-glass McWIL squash court is reported as having a nice fast
front wall, so it might be the crowd as well as his opponents
will be careful not to blink.
White is relishing the chance to get back into ‘active duty’
having retired from the PSA World Tour a couple of year’s ago:
 "It
is going to be fun playing the guys again, and I am pretty
confident that my game will be suited both to the format (best
of 3 pool matches) and the fact the other fellas will be moving
a little slower these days!
"Its great that Eventis & Event Engine have had the vision to
get this tour off the ground and I am looking forward to playing
a major part in its success both on and off the court," said the
former World no.1
Tickets are selling quickly so anyone interested in attending is
