Gussie Moran

Gorgeous Gussie Moran has died at the age of 89.

I can remember all the fuss about the way she dressed at Wimbledon, which ‘introduced vulgarity & sin into tennis’ according to the Committee of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which knows about such things.

Looked at through eyes which are now more than 60 years older she just looks like a normal healthy young girl who liked to wear pretty – but demure - dresses.

Although I can also remember that the frilly knickers she wore one time reminded me horribly of the plastic-lined panties you put over the towelling nappies of your baby daughter.
