“I wouldn't have wanted to be in any other era. Chrissie Evert, Martina...” — Sue Barker Quote

I wouldn't have wanted to be in any other era. Chrissie Evert, Martina Navratilova, Virginia Wade, Evonne Goolagong and Margaret Court were fabulous people, and I made great friends along the way.

The majority of people don't even realise I was a tennis player. The older you get, the less people remember what you did before.

When I was playing, all my overseas trips were paid for by the LTA, then by my coach, and from whatever prize-money I made I would have to pay back as much as I could of the fare. Only once that was paid could I keep the extra, and that was a powerful incentive.

I know what it is to win and to lose, and the last thing you want when you've lost is to have a microphone stuck under your nose.

There is no chance of my marrying Princess Margaret.

The women's movement in England was totally against Margaret Thatcher.

Margaret Thatcher always felt like an outsider in her party.

My wife Margaret is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I don't want to be an old man in a pub singing about Margaret Thatcher.
