In this photo print, British tennis legend Fred Perry takes center stage as he imparts his wisdom to eager members of the Yarrow Youth Club in Cleethorpes, Lancashire.

Perry's presence exudes confidence and expertise as he demonstrates various techniques to both young girls and women alike. His passion for the game shines through every movement, inspiring those around him to embrace their own potential on the court.
