People forget how he was hounded by the press, and everyone had an opinion about his swing changes etc. Totally get why he said the things he said, and glad he had the balls to do it :)
Wife #1: Leaves him because he's having an affair (with woman who will become wife #2) Wife #2: Leaves him because he's having an affair with a golf student Girlfriend: Leaves him because he's having an affair (with woman who becomes wife #3) Wife #3: He leaves her... The longest lasting (Wife #2 - Gill - pictured in this video, but unthanked) said: "Socially, he was a 24-handicapper."
Certainly always, did everything his own way. More entertaining than the boring clichéd sound bites we hear nowadays. Faldo was a golfer one either loved or loved to hate. Either way, one of the greatest.
I'd forgotten how much fun that tournament was. What a blast, what a champion. And a well-put-together video, OP...thanks.
I love Faldo....always seemeda bit nervous/fragile...love him...first of the modern pro's
I've still got my whisky from Nick :)

And now he’s on wife #4 - and she’s on husband #7! 😱
Loool birdman at 1:03
He should have mentioned John Cook and Jose Maria's names.
If Cook hadn't blown his drive over the wall on #9, he would have won by 2 shots.
Mate, Cook missed a 3 foot birdie on 17 for a two shot lead and then bogeyed 18....Faldo birdied 17, make par on 18 and won by 1 stroke.
If if if. If I didn't blow my drive on nearly every hole and miss every putt I'd win the Open.
Ignominious speech. Dreadful.
