Vere St. Leger Goold

Vere Thomas "St. Leger" Goold (2 October 1853 in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland – 8 September 1909 Devil's Island, French Guiana penal colony) was an Irish tennis player. He quickly faded from the game and ended his life in prison convicted of murder and premature death, by suicide.
==Career==
Vere Goold was born into a wealthy family. In his early life he apparently had boxing skills as well as tennis skills. In June 1879 he became the first Irish tennis champion after defeating C.D. Barry, 8–6, 8–6 in the final. Later that summer Vere tried his luck at the third edition of the Wimbledon Championships and made it all the way to the All-Comers final in which he was defeated by Reverend John Hartley, 2–6, 4–6, 2–6.
A few months later he competed in the first open tournament held at Cheltenham. He again reached the final and lost, this time to the famous William Renshaw, in a closely fought match, 4–6, 3–6, 6–5, 6–5, 4–6. He wasted a 4–1 lead in the final set.
After an illness he failed to defend his Irish title in 1880, losing out in the Challenge Round, again to William Renshaw 1–6, 4–6, 3–6. St. Leger's career went downhill and he disappeared from the tennis scene by 1883.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aeltc2009.wimbledon.org/en_GB/about/history/murderer.html )
