Jonathon Power is the best squash player of all time for me. I've never seen a funnier athlete in my life. He is a magician with his words as well as his racket. This is such a great piece of work. I don't play squash much anymore, but he got me hooked up on the game for a long time till my knees and back told me to go easy and play badminton instead.

Respect your views but there is only jahangir and jansher khan who are the greatest of all time .

[@martelbaek6660]

@@hamisjavedhj4551 Sure when you only take their squash. But you must admit Jonathon is a quick wit.

[@mohamedsheik4589]

He wasn’t in the same league as the khans.

This vid is too good to be true ... who was filming this .. who filmed his dad after he beat Peter Nichol ... who is this genius mirror behind that squash genius

[@Hymerati]

Brilliant video JP, loved watching that.

[@riojajunior3263]

Thanks for posting... awesome video.

[@bobwatson7501]

That was great, I really enjoyed that, some good laughs and brings back some good memories.

[@MrTiwari11]

Amazing documentary! Loved it

[@cathal37]

He had some serious battles with nicol, think it finished 16 each over the years, both brilliant players.

[@masonbaker2377]

This is brilliant!

[@davewatson174]

JP in my top 3 all-time favourite players :)

[@mikem314]

Grew up watching and imitating JPs game especially his touch and flicks at the top of the T.

[@ericwindeler279]

So cool to see this JP! So cool to know and have played with you (been trashed by you) :-)

[@BBGBITW]

Wow, great documentary, Mats Sundin 18:46 too!

[@mascon9]

Ryding reading Chomsky ...nice!!

[@mcloughnog]

JP is the 🐐, best player of all time

[@auldlang1751]

@Clarence Simmons Definitely is! I've met him before.I had the utmost respect for Jonathan Power, until I heard him call another competitor a schmuck.

[@markgreen66]

Stroke to Ryding at the end in Pan Am Games, you must be joking?!

[@richardmagasy2970]

JP is the king

[@nabilsaleem9857]

JP is incredibly entertaining and this was a lot of great footage. The line at 24:20 "Back to the bizarre combination of luxury and Islam," however, is problematic. A bit offensive and actually ironic, considering the wealth of some Middle Eastern countries today.

[@TheN00bPolice]

lol shut up ffs

[@td4493]

Great doc but they could have at least got a script writer who has played the game. JP Harrow Spark. My favourite racket of the last 30 years until someone nicked it. Stay frosty JP

[@mohamedsheik4589]

Jansher khan was the best squash player ever.

[@peterbloom5156]

Peter Marshal wins the award for the most awkward player in history. 2 handed forehand and backhand...in squash. lol

[@karllansing7927]

hes annoying in the court complaining all the time. boring.

[@bodyslamchannel]

It’s so bad to watch
