GREAT JOB Andy Murray!!!.It took a Scot to be the first male British subject to win Wimbledon in 77 years.

I guess someone should have told the Blancmanges from the planet Skyron in the galaxy of Andromeda, before they ordered all those kilts from Angus Podgorney...

Aye; well done to him. I don't really follow (any) sport but it seems he has worked exceptionally hard and strove to achieve this (with the nation behind him) for some years. I'm very pleased for him.

No no no. You don't understand. He's ALWAYS British when he wins... He's only Scottish when he looses. That's how it works over here.

Obligatory picture of Bobby Moore.

I'm just kidding by the way. Excellent performance Mr Murray. Thanks for bringing it home. 1st time in 77 years. Nice one!!

Interestingly, Murray at his victory speech described himself as British. Whatever, it takes a talented person to win the world's premiere tennis title, so well done him.

This thread has given me some insight. Thank you, gentlemen.

Congratulations to Mr Murray.

That is not 100% true. After all Jamie Murray won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2007.

Well done to him, he deserves it.

I just wonder if they will name something in his honour. I would suggest the home of the Scottish Rugby Union

My Lady and I enjoyed listening to his Olympic success while driving up and down England last year.

Something like, hmmm, "The Andy Murray Stadium in The Andy Murray Precinct on The Andy Murray Field at Murrayfield"? No?
