Description: Rare Autographed By 1949 - 69 Badminton Tournament riders and the author Barbara Cooper. The 1949-1969 Badminton Tournament, also known as the All England Open Badminton Championships, was one of the premier badminton events in the world. The tournament was first held in 1899 and has been held annually ever since, with the exception of a few years during World War I and II. During the period from 1949 to 1969, the tournament saw many legendary players compete and win titles. Some of the most notable players during this era include Denmark's Erland Kops, Indonesia's Rudy Hartono, and Malaysia's Wong Peng Soon. These players dominated the tournament and won multiple titles, cementing their places in badminton history. The tournament was held at the Wembley Arena in London during this period, and it attracted players and fans from all over the world. The tournament featured both singles and doubles events for both men and women, and the competition was fierce. In 1969, the tournament made history when it became the first badminton tournament to offer prize money to the winners. This move helped to elevate the status of the tournament and attracted even more talented players from around the world. The 1949-1969 Badminton Tournament was a significant era in the history of the sport, and it helped to lay the foundation for the modern-day badminton tournaments that we see today.
