description: "Vere Thomas \"St. Leger\" Goold was an Irish tennis player who competed for the 1879 Wimbledon All Comers' final. That year he became the first singles champion of the Irish Championships. He quickly faded from the game and in 1907 was sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island for the murder of a Swedish widow in Monte Carlo. In 1909 he died there by suicide."
