The great Khan, also known as 'King of Squash', holds the world record of winning the British Open title for ten successive years from 1981 to 1990. No other player in the 71-year British Open history has won the title ten years in a row

I got to sit next to him on a FRA-KHI flight back in the early 80's. He's a very quiet person and was a bit embarrased when one of the people in the reception committee kissed his hand as he was heading towards the stairs to the main cabin of the 747.

The hairstyle with long hair seen in 1989 advertisement was popular among many sportsmen and male showbiz personalities in 1980s.
