Boris Becker, who said he has sold his properties to help fix his finances, added that he had "lots" of trophies and memorabilia from his top-flight 15-year career but some are now missing.
Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has told a London court he does not know the whereabouts of his All England Club trophies. Becker was declared bankrupt in 2017 and is on trial accused of failing to hand over assets including nine trophies and medals from his glittering career. He told the jury at Southwark Crown Court he would produce the trophies "tomorrow" if he had them. The 54-year-old German won the first of his six Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 1985 aged just 17.
Becker, who said he has sold his properties to help fix his finances, added that he had "lots" of trophies and memorabilia from his top-flight 15-year career but some are now missing.
"For the player, it's about winning the title. The trophy is not so much when you are playing," Becker told the court.
"Nowadays I wish I had them to show them to my children."
Former world number one Becker denies 24 charges under the Insolvency Act.
