Hi Rob, I completely agree.

Pab, the source of these stats is no less than FIFA as reported by the BBC. As Rob will tell you I always research my information sources thoroughly...

Countries in the world?: At least 193, Whoops source; http://www.worldatlas.com/nations.htm

I agree a wonderful complete player, can you imagine his looping topspin forehands with modern rackets?

There was another useful chap at the time I seem to remember - Irish forbears, lefty, now what was his name?

Borg was a wonderful player in his day,that wooden racket wouldn't last a set in today's standards..You must be thinking about McEnroe,again another great.
