Been reading a lot about this man recently (never heard of him before or since)… sounds like an incredibly skilfull game he played…what an enigma…
Here is a 30 years of age winning the Welsh Open beating Teifion Salisbury in the final and thrilling the crowd with his incredible lob serves and deft drops….then he went on to beat Martin Bodimeade in the Middlesex Open final…and then sort of disappeared…
He is a member of SS but has never posted…..what a legend…
Andrew Shelley:
Alaaeldeen, a great fellow, showed his excellence not just in winning events, but being a member of the Egyptian team that reached the semis of the World Team Championship in 1976.Many players have known him since as the Technical Director of Qatar Squash Federation, successfully managing the Qatar Classic etc for many years before returning to Cairo.
Note from SquashSite:
Alaa has been SquashSite manager for a couple of years now, a privilege for us…
