Player, 77, puts body on line

The nine-time Grand Slam winner is the oldest sports-person to ever appear in the publication, but Player said his mission was clear: to try and send a message out about the benefits of healthy eating and the dangers of obesity.
Player didn’t look out of place besides the 19 other male and female athletes chosen for this year’s issue and he was one of the eight cover stars whittled down by editors to front the campaign.
