“This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.”

That is the only way to win a tournament, that is what we did in 1983, we played one match at a time…”
