Saintsfan Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I think the answer is probably Ann Jones. (1968 or 9 can't remember which) Virginia Wade won in 1977 but I seem to remember she was born in South Africa! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I stand corrected! Virginia Wade was born in the beautiful seaside town of Bournemouth! She did grow up in South Africa though (I believe her father was a vicar interestingly!!)
