This programme captures the vividly colourful life of one of the greatest tennis players in the world, one who played with a sweet volley and a foul mouth! Including rare archive footage from his playing days, this programme shows his greatest victories as well as his worst on court outbursts. Follow John McEnroe's rise from his private school days in New York to instant stardom at the tender age of 17 years at Wimbledon, where he first showed the skill, brilliance and fiery temper which would make him a world class player. This programme also explores his rocky marriage to Tatum O'Neal, his involvement in the world of art and his flamboyant career as an outspoken tennis commentator.
