Alan Jones

The club is saddened to learn of the passing of former member Alan Jones.

Alan was a key player in the football 1st XI in the early 1970s, but went on to become one of the top tennis coaches in the UK over the past forty years.

Former professional tennis player and UK number one Jo Durie said "Utterly devastated to announce that Alan Jones,my longtime coach,mentor & friend has passed away after a short illness. Alan coached generations of players and influenced the lives of so many. A giant in the tennis world. I was so lucky to call him my friend."

USA tennis legend Billie Jean King also paid tribute. "Our sport has lost a passionate and dedicated coach. I always looked forward to catching up with Alan at Wimbledon. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace."

Our thoughts go out to Alan's family and friends.
