German tennis star once worth £38m has been found guilty of four offences under the Insolvency Act
Ever since the day in 1985 when he went from being an unseeded 17-year-old to the youngest male tennis player to win a Wimbledon final, Boris Becker has had a special bond with the British public.
Adored for his triumphs, the Wimbledon crowds loved him even in defeat: 10 years after becoming an overnight sensation on Centre Court, Becker was finally beaten by Pete Sampras. But it was Becker the crowd called for, cheering him into jogging a lap of the court so they could lavish applause on him.
