delighted to be given the chance."

motivation is as strong as ever but
my body will not allow me to train
and compete at the level I want
to anymore. The last few years have
been extremely tough and I have
given it everything I could to try
and get back to being one of the
best players in the World, butI know
what it takes to get to the top of
the rankings and deep down I know I
just cannot do it anymore. Having
had 3 surgeries on my knee and 1
on my hip and suffering recurring
problems, I think it is time to move
on. I don’t think this will come
as a great shock to many people but
I want to let all the people know
who have helped me so much over the

Chris Dittmar (born
16 January 1964) is an Australian
World No. 1-ranked left handed men's
squash player.
Dittmar
finished runner-up at the World Open
five times – in 1983, 1987, 1989,
1990 and 1992 – and was runner-up at
the British Open twice – in 1985 and
1993. This is because of the two
khan's Jahangir Khan and Jansher
Khan. There were several occasions
in his career when Dittmar managed
to beat one of the Khans in a
semi-final round, only to lose to
the other in the final.
“Unfortunately for me, I was number
2 in the world for approximately 10
years because of the dominance of
Jahangir Khan,” Dittmar said. “He is
arguably the best player we’ve ever
seen and came along as a young
player and immediately lifted the
standard of how we played, and how
we had to train and prepare.
Jahangir had sublime skill and
played the game at a pace we hadn’t
seen before. He was fit, strong,
skilful and always fair.”
“Jansher was totally different,”
Dittmar recalls. “He didn’t possess
the racquet skill of Jahangir but he
was an incredible athlete. We had
never seen such retrieving ability
or such fitness in a squash player.
Everyone at that level was fit but
after two brutal hours on court,
when anyone else would start to
flounder, he was still sprinting
around at full speed. It was
superhuman!”
Dittmar has
claimed that the proudest moment of
his career came in captaining the
Australian team to victory in World
Team Squash Championships in 1989.
Australia beat Pakistan 3-0 in the
final, with Dittmar contributing a
win over Jahangir Khan. Two years
later in 1991, Dittmar captained the
Australian team which successfully
defended the title.
Dittmar
served as Patron of Squash Australia
from 2002 to 2005. He was inducted
into the Squash Australia Hall of
Fame in 2005.

Gordon John
Watson (26th January 1916) was a
squash player from Australia. He
held the Australian Professional
Championship and Australian Open
Championship titles from 1939
undefeated until 1949.
His
impressive record in championship
competition and his peerless
coaching record have resulted in
Watson being widely considered the
legend of squash sport in Australia,
as both player and coach, for 48
years from 1931 to 1979.
Watson commenced his squash career
at the age of sixteen. He gained
employment as a masseur and
gymnasium instructor in the first
commercial squash courts in
Melbourne built in 1926. Watson went
on to become the club's squash
professional in 1931. Due to his
employment at the club, Watson was
classed as a professional and only
eligible to compete in the
Australian Professional Squash
Championships.
This
competition was first held in 1931;
the same year as the inaugural
Australian Men's Amateur
Championship. Watson started
competing in earnest after his first
overseas trip, to England and
Germany, in 1936. In 1939 Watson
defeated Jim Watson and went on to
remain Australian Open champion
until 1949. Remarkably, during this
decade of Watson's domination at the
top level of competition, he
surrendered only a single game.
He travelled to contest British
Open (which is equal to World
Championship now) in England in 1950
and was the first Australian male
squash player to tour overseas. He
was defeated in Semi Finals by
India's Abdul Bari. 1950 closed with
the world rankings as Karim No. 1;
Bari No. 2; and Gordon Watson No. 3.
Watson retired from competition
in 1950 and built a successful
coaching career. He established
Watson's Squash Academy in
Melbourne. As a coach, Watson
quickly demonstrated his total
understanding of the sport and
amassed similarly unprecedented
success as that which he had enjoyed
as a competitor.
Before his
retirement from the sport in 1979,
he coached no fewer than 21
Australian title holders and
countless winners of state
championships.
These included
many early champions of the women's
game: Betty Meagher; Val Watts; and
Joan Watson (his sister-in-law).
Between them these women took 7
Australian Amateur and 9 Victorian
Amateur championships between 1946
and 1955. Watson also coached
national male champions Frank
Harris, Merv Weston and Ian Carson
who retained 7 Australian Amateur
titles between them.
Watson
retired from the sport of squash in
1979 and died in 1992

world and she has been involved in
numerous initiatives internationally
to develop the sport.
She was
the first female squash player to
appear on Superstars and A Question
of Sport, hugely popular and
successful British TV shows.
She also organised and promoted the
first women's squash events in the
Middle East, in Dubai and Bahrain.
Along with Jayne Ashton of England
and Sue Newman, Barbara Wall and
Lyle Hubinger of Australia, she
formed WISPA, the professional
ladies' body for squash, in 1979. To
this day, WISPA remains the
governing body of the ladies game.

Gamal Awad was a
squash player from Egypt. He was the
younger brother of Mohammed Awad
another notable Egyptian squash
player. Awad became the Egyptian
national champion in 1976, and won
the British Amateur championship
in 1977 and 1978. He finished
runnerup to Jahangir Khan at both
the 1982 World Masters and the 1983
British Open.
The match for
which Awad is best remembered came
at the Chichester Open in 1983
against Jahangir, which set a new
world record for the longest squash
match on record. The first game
itself was a record for the longest
single game in a squash match, as
Awad recovered from 1–8 down to take
the game 10–9 in 1 hour and 11
minutes. In the end, Jahangir won
the match 9–10, 9–5, 9–7, 9–2 in 2
hours and 46 minutes.
Awad's
acrobatic performances on the squash
court earned him the nicknames
"rubber man" and "grasshopper".
Awad retired from the
professional squash circuit in 1987,
following problems with knee
injuries and he died of a heart
attack on 6 November 2004 in
Alexandria at the age of 49.

Ross Norman
(born 1959) is a former professional
right handed squash player from New
Zealand.
He is best
remembered for winning the World
Open in 1986, when he beat Jahangir
Khan of Pakistan in the final. The
win marked the end of an unbeaten
run for Khan that had stretched for
over five years (the longest in the
history of professional sport).
NORMAN'S LASTING DETERMINATION
WAS TO BEAT JAHANGIR KHAN ONE DAY.
And he wanted to be the one (to
conquer him). It had nearly happened
in the 1985 World Championships in
Cairo where Norman played above
himself yet still lost (1-3) and
again in the 1986 British Open Final
he lost again (0-3) to Jahangir.
But in November 1986 World Open
Championship he beat Jahangir 3-1 in
France thus ending unbeaten run of
Jahangir.
Norman retired from
the professional squash circuit in
1995, but has remained active in
seniors events. He now has two sons,
Brett and Alex.
In the 2014
New Year Honours, Norman was
appointed a Member of the New
Zealand Order of Merit for services
to squash.

JIM DEAR (BORN IN 1910) was former
English player (squash, tennis and
racquet ball).
He joined
Queen’s Club (UK) as an apprentice
ball boy in the 1920s and won the
British Open Title (1 time) which
was equivalent to World Open Squash
Championship of today.
With
the event cancelled due to world war
2 until (1939-1947), Jim was unable
to add further titles to his name
during what were arguably his prime
squash-plying years.
Jim's
victory in the 1938 British Open
would go on to be a significant
moment in the history of the Open as
it was after 64-years before
another Englishman won the
prestigious title – with Peter Nicol
finally ending that drought in 2002
and Nick Matthew in 2006.
He
expired in 1981.

Paul Johnson is a
former professional squash player
from England. He played for
Greenwich in the London Youth Games
when growing up and was inducted
into the London Youth Games Hall of
Fame in 2011. At the 1998
Commonwealth Games, he won a gold
medal for England in Kuala Lumpur,

in the men's singles.
Johnson and Chaloner were also men's
doubles bronze medalists at the 2002
Commonwealth Games. Johnson won the
British National Championship title
in 1999.
ONE INCIDENT HE
CANNOT FORGET IS WHEN DUKE OF
EDINBURG CAME TO MEET HIS TEAM
MATES.. He say "During the
commonwealth games doubles final in
Malaysiain 1998 Mark Chaloner and I
had just taken the opening game
against the Aussies, Mark and I were
getting some advice from our coaches
when we were suddenly surrounded by
bodies. It was the Dukes security
team and he wanted to come over and
have a chat with us". Not exactly
the ideal time for that obviously
but after standing to his attention
he turned around and said “my, it
looks jolly crowded in there lads,
best of luck for the rest of the
match”.
I mumbled something
like “yes it is sir but fortunately
we have a pretty good idea of what
we’re doing so it’s not too bad”.
He smiled, nodded and went on his
way. I spent the rest of the
interval more worried about what I’d
said and sounding like a berk than
what DP had to say. Oh, we bashed
the Aussies up 3-0 by the way.

TOP PROFESSIONAL SQUASH PLAYER OF
1990'S FROM EGYPT : Ahmed Barada
Ahmed Barada
Ahmed Barada is a former
professional squash player. He was
finalist in world open squash
championship in 1999 and also in PSA
world super series.
In any
discussion about squash in Egypt,
the name of Ahmed Barada will surely
pop up in conversation. He is
considered the motivation and
inspiration for the majority of
current Egyptian squash champions,
who together have made Egypt one of
the most advanced countries in
squash.
He represented the
winning Egyptian team in the 1999
Men's World Team Squash
Championships held in Cairo which
had beaten Wales in the finals.
Barada won the World Junior Open
squash title in 1994, as well as 4
British Junior Open titles in
1991–94 (1 under-14, 2 under-16, and
1 under-19).
Barada stunned
the squash world when he became the
first wildcard to reach the final of
a PSA Super Series tournament (1996)
in Cairo (as World Series events)
were known then, and his feats set
the pathway for the likes of Mohamed
ElShorbagy, Ramy Ashour and Ali
Farag to sit at the top of the sport
as they do now. In 2000, Barada was
stabbed by an unknown assailant
outside his home in Cairo. Following
his recovery from this injury,
Barada had a short-lived comeback,
before officially announcing his
retirement from the game in August
2001 at the age of 24.
Following his retirement, Barada
turned his attentions towards a
singing career and by 2004 had
released his first album.

GREAT INTERNATIONAL SQUASH
PLAYER FROM AUSTRALIA
DANIELLE
DRADY
Danielle
Drady
Danielle Drady is a former
professional squash player from
Australia.
She turned
professional in 1987, and began to
steadily climb the world rankings
and was ranked the PSA World No. 2
woman player in march 1990.
Drady became interested in squash as
a young child when she started going
with her mother to her social squash
gatherings at a local club.
She won the Queensland under-12
championship in 1978, and then went
on to claim state and national
championships and an under-19 world
team crown in her junior years.
In 1984, Drady joined the
Australian Institute of Sport in
Brisbane.
She got married to
squash legend Rodney Martin but left
him to get married to his manager
Phil Harte.
Having reached
the World No. 2 ranking in 1990, the
World No. 1 spot appeared to be
within Drady's reach. However, her
chances were dashed when she snapped
her achilles tendon during a
practice match.
The injury
required immediate surgery and kept
her out of the game for some time.
In a bid to attract attention
and sponsorship for Drady's comeback
from injury, and to promote the
world's first outdoor squash
tournament in 1994, Drady's husband
(Phil Harte) wrapped her in glad
wrap to play her matches outside
Sydney's Martin Place shopping
center in 1994.
Drady played
and won the World Outdoor Pro-Am
wrapped in plastic, and posed for
photographs with a 'For Sale' sign
strung around her neck.
This
created a great deal of media
coverage and sparked debate about
the lengths female athletes should
and need to go to in order to
attract funding and sponsors.
The publicity soon led to Drady
becoming the most sponsored player
in squash for a period.
Drady
continued to play top-level squash
into the late-1990s. She won the
Australian Open in 1996 and the 1998
World Open Pro-AM Sydney. However,
her international career began to
take a backseat following her
marriage to her husband Phil Harte
and the birth of her daughter Tayla.
Between 2010 and 2015, Drady
established the first squash and
fitness academy at the Emirates Golf
and Country Club in Dubai. As of
now, Drady lives between Sydney and
Dubai. She and her husband run Harte
International Events Manager. She
also manages an international
lifestyle and travel magazine called
Classic Lifestyle.

Victor Niederhoffer had never played
squash when he entered Harvard
University in 1960.
One year
later, he won the national junior
title and, by the time he graduated,
he was the National Intercollegiate
squash champion (1964).
He
won the U.S. Nationals five times (a
record exceeded only by Stanley
Pearson, who won his sixth in 1923).
He also won three national
doubles titles with his partners
(Vic Elmaleh, Jim Zug Sr. and Colin
Adair).
In 1964 he entered
the U.S. Open Squash, losing a close
match in the semifinals to Legendary
Hashim Khan, considered by most
people to be the greatest squash
player in the world.
A fierce
competitor, Khan complimented his
coach Jack Barnaby on Niederhoffer's
obsession to win. "You coached that
boy good," he said. "He takes the
game serious."
SQUASH
COMEBACK
In 1972, stating
that he had made his point about
prejudice at squash clubs,
Niederhoffer made his return to
squash.
In his absence, the
Indian hall of fame player, Anil
Nayar, had risen to prominence and
won the past three National
Championships.
In the first
tourney of that season, with
Niederhoffer rusty and out of shape,
Niederhoffer lost to Nayar in the
finals.From that point on, though,
to the amazement of most observers,
Niederhoffer dominated Nayar and won
back the championship at Detroit.
Niederhoffer gave up competitive
squash. At 34, it was getting harder
for him to keep in shape, the
demands on his time were greater
with business booming (Hedge Fund
Manager).
He sprained his
ankle very badly in the 1976
Metropolitan Open. Niederhoffer had
been searching for words to explain
his retirement and now he found
them. "What it is," he said, "is
that I've lost the killer instinct."

STUART DAVENPORT
GREAT INTERNATIONAL SQUASH PLAYER
(GISPB) FROM NEW ZEALAND
Stuart Davenport
Stuart Davenport is a former
professional squash player from New
Zealand. He rose to a world ranking
of No 3, but was blocked from
further progress by two exceptional
players on the world scene -
Pakistan's Jahangir Khan and fellow
New Zealander Ross Norman.
In
1980 he led the New Zealand Junior
team to third place at the World
Junior Championship in Sweden. That
same year he won the British
under-19 title, and in 1982 took out
the British under-23 championships.
A distinguished senior
professional career followed,
highlights of which included
finishing third in the World
Individual Championships held in New
Zealand in 1983, and several
outstanding efforts for New Zealand
in World Teams Championships events.
His entry at the New Zealand
Squash Hall of Fame is entitled
"Wizard With A Racket" and anyone
who watched Stuart Davenport in his
pomp would agree.
Davenport
retired at the relatively young age
of 25 after sensing he had taken his
squash as far as he could,
preferring to pursue business
interests.
He became chairman
of ISPA, the professional men's
players' association, proving a
canny negotiator on behalf of the
players.

HIDAYET KHAN GREAT INTERNATIONAL
SQUASH PLAYER BIOGRAPHY (GISPB)
Hidayat Khan
Hidayet Jahan (alias Hiddy)
should be the most respected squash
player of the 1970-86 period in the
manner he sustained himself at the
top for 16 years in this gruesome
sport.Throughout his tenure, Hiddy
never slipped out of the world's top
6 and no tribute could be greater
for this explosive Pathan who was
born in Pakistan but later shifted
his base to UK.
He was nearly
killed in a severe accident in the
1960s. He was chosen to be a
representative of Pakistan in
squash’s 1st World Team champions
league. Hidayet was travelling on a
rail from Quetta to Karachi for the
final training when he inclined too
far out of the rail carriage door
and hit his head against the signal
post. He was lucky to survive but
the accident cost him his place.
It is truly unfortunate that he
was always up against an extremely
formidable opposition, initially
Geoff Hunt, Gogi Allauddin, Ken
Hiscoe, and Jonah Barrington and
later Qamar Zaman and Mohibullah
Khan who were better players.
In later years as he did not got
any support from Pakistan squash
association he went to South Africa
for a tour (for monetary reason) and
was banned in Pakistan and his
passport was impounded.
Hiddy
was offered adoption by Britain,
partly because of his brilliance and
also because of his marriage to
current wife Sue Bullmore. The year
was 1978 and Hiddy was from then on
Britain's top player till 1984.
In the last few years of his
top-level career, he played
represented England in international
competitions including representing
England at the 1983 Men's World Team
Squash Championships.
In
recent years, Hiddy has been a very
successful squash player in
veteran's events. He has won British
Open titles at Over-35, Over-40,
Over-45 and Over-50 level.
Hiddy's younger brothers Zarak Jahan
Khan and Zubair Jahan Khan also both
became successful professional
squash players on the international
circuit

AZAM KHAN
GREAT INTERNATIONAL SQUASH PLAYER
FROM PAKISTAN (GISPB)
Azam Khan a squash player who won
the British Open Championships four
times between 1959 and 1962.
He was born into a Pashtun family at
Nawakville, a small village near
Peshawar At first, he became a
tennis coach at the officers' club
of the Pakistan Air Force.Soon after
that, his older brother Hashim Khan
(7 times British Open champion)
asked him to change his career to
squash playing from tennis.
When Azam Khan switched over to
playing squash, he was such a quick
learner that he became the 2nd best
player behind his famous brother
Hashim Khan within six months.
Both brothers had settled in
London by 1956. He surprised many
people by adapting so easily from
concrete courts in Pakistan to
England's wooden court floors.
Azam had to abstain from
competitive squash due to an
Achilles tendon injury. The injury
healed in 18 months but there was
another wound that he sustained and
which never could be healed. He
completely lost interest in
competition when his 14-year-old son
died.
Thereafter, his squash
activities were confined to his
club, the New Grampians Club in
London. Azam had joined the club in
1956 as a full time coach. Soon, the
club’s owner, who was not keeping
good health, asked him to buy the
club. Azam bought the club by
paying him in installments and he
decided to retire from the game in
1962.
Azam could have won at
least 12 British Open titles if he
had wanted to. Had it not been for
two factors first, respect for the
elder brother and, later, mourning
his son Azam Khan might have been
the greatest squash player of all
time.
