Azam, who had settled in Britain back in the sixties, is one of the prominent members of the great Khan dynasty which ruled international squash decades. Widely regarded as one the best squash players in the world, he had also won the most important hardball tournament, the US Open, for the first time in 1962. However, he left playing due to an Achilles tendon injury and the tragic death of his 14-year-old son in 1962.
