Max Robertson, who died on 20 November, 2009, aged 94, was a BBC radio and television presenter best known for his coverage of Wimbledon.
He covered every final from 1946 to 1986 and was popular for his vibrant descriptions of play, in stark contrast to the staid style of his predecessors.
He was also the first regular host of news magazine programme Panorama, from 1953 to 1955.
From 1965 to 1977 he presented the antiques-based quiz show Going for a Song.
He later turned his acquired expertise to writing, penning a popular history of the Wimbledon tournament as well as books about antiques.
After retiring in 1986 he settled in Guernsey with his wife, Wombles creator Elisabeth Beresford.
