Herbert Lawford

Scotsman Herbert Lawford pioneered the introduction of 'topspin' to the sport and his technical contributions in bringing innovation and new shot-making to the sport is well-documented. He holds the record with Artur Gore for finishing runner-up at the Championships a record 5 times. He, however, won his 4th final in 1887 at the age of 36 years 53 days.
