The greatest names in squash describe their most famous matches, the
stories behind their success, the legendary training secrets and
physical attributes that made them champions. From Pakistani great Azam
Khan and the extraordinary story of how he came to Britain, Trading
Secrets by Rod Gilmour follows the emergence of Geoff Hunt and Jonah
Barrington, two players who took fitness and sporting rivalry to a new
level in the 60s and 70s. Their rivalry ignited the back pages of
newspapers across the globe.
Trading Secrets also lifts the lid on the stars' secrets in a sport
that is slowly rediscovering its lustre after several decades in the
wilderness. Reflecting this popular resurgence, the book looks at the
battles of Peter Nicol, Britain's first world champion, and Canadian
magician Jonathon Power before the likes of Nick Matthew and Ramy Ashour
recall the matches which have transcended them into modern greats of the
game. Their duels have been brought to life with archived reports from
squash's correspondents of the time.
