Andy Murray was honoured after his retirement with a new 20-foot mural at Dunblane Sports Club, where he first picked up the game of tennis.

With the conclusion of the most famous career in British sports history, Murray officially announced his retirement from the professional tennis circuit following the recent Olympic Games in Paris.

In 2013, the 37-year-old put an end to Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s singles Wimbledon champion, setting off tearful scenes throughout the nation. A remarkable feat considering the era of tennis he was playing in with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer, he spent 41 weeks as the world’s top player.

After leading Britain to victory in the Davis Cup, he ended the country’s 79-year trophy drought. Murray went on to make an incredible comeback with a metal hip.

Now that his playing days are behind him, Murray is taking some time to spend with his family before he looks into starting a new career as a tennis coach.

Now, a 20-foot mural honouring British sporting icon Murray has been installed at the tennis club in Scotland where he first picked up a racket. His mother, Judy Murray, has previously stated that the first time her son set foot on a tennis court at Dunblane Sports Club, he was only three years old.
