Elvis Presley’s Birthday: Saturday, 8th January, 1977

I watched Ken “Muscles” Rosewall, whom, at forty-two years of age, battled to stave off defeat at the hands of the American Roscoe Tanner before the former succumbed in four sets.

At 7.30p.m., on A.B.C. TV’s Channel Two, the “Sportsman Of The Year Award” for 1976 was presented. Cricketer, Greg Chappell, was adjudged to be the winner because of his outstanding form with the bat.
