@@1967briano Chris Robertson played at our club in Brisbane during the early 1980s--I remember talking to him about Jansher Khan's prospects just after Jansher had crushed Rod Eyles in the final of the 1986 World Junior--Chris felt that Jansher would struggle at first in the senior ranks--how wrong he was!
@@petereedy6092 Interesting. I met Robertson also but never really discussed Jansher. I met him in Wales years ago. Not being anti Aussie but the Aussies I met hated Jansher. They were a little racist but the primary reason was he beat them senseless for years. If you had the misfortune to come up against Jansher on a very good day and if you played a little below par; you’d end up getting only a handful of points. His movement was sublime. 😂
@@1967briano Yes, Jansher's movement was indeed sublime--I refereed him twice back in the late 1980s and was astonished by his ease of movement--just stretching out or even appearing to walk around the court. However, back in those days of 'generous' lets, he did appear to be hunting for strokes at times. And yes, the Aussies probably hated him because he was so dominant! I would love to be able to see Jansher against a fit and in-form Ramy Ashour--a dream match!
@@petereedy6092 Yes. Fair assessment. Jansher beat Ross Norman at 17. He was world senior and junior champion. He used fish a little for easy lets but he would be too much for all of the modern players. Ali Farag’s game would be ideal for him. I saw him beat Adrian Davies 27-0 in a tournament match. He’d beat Ramy as well. Most of the top players regard him as the greatest. As does Hunt. But he may not have liked Jahangir who beat him in the 1981 World Open Final at 17.
5:32 rally of all time by Jansher
believe it or not, simon actually coaches me now
Commentary here by Squash legends Jonah Barrington and Chris Robertson!
Yes. Jansher ran the life out of Simon Parke. Whatever the commentators say ( and I respect them), Jansher is different class.
