Andy Murray has detailed the time he had an encounter with a police officer who stopped him during Wimbledon. The 38-year-old has quite the legacy in London, with hisfeats at the All England Club topping them all.

However, it was during his participation in the Grand Slam that Murray was halted by police. The tennis legend shared details about the brief interaction when asked if he ever had any encounters with the authorities.

He told The London Standard: "Yes - I was pulled over driving home one night during Wimbledon. But when the police officer saw it was me, he said I was fine to put my foot down on the A3 because he was the only one on patrol.

"I think he was hoping I'd get a good night's sleep ahead of my next match." Murray's car collection includes luxury vehicles such as an Aston Martin DB9, a Jaguar I-Pace and a BMW i8, but when the sporting icon was asked about a London secret he'd be willing to part with, he expressed his enjoyment of using the London Underground.

He stated: "The Tube has become so much easier for me now people don't look up from their phones." With two Wimbledon victories and five Queen's titles to his name, plus his London 2012 victory, the two-time Olympic gold medallist has achieved immense success in the capital.

When Great Britain celebrated Murray's first Wimbledon victory in 2013, there were plenty of tears shed for his triumph, including from his mother Judy, and far more surprisingly from legendary football manager Jose Mourinho.

The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was in attendance for Murray's straight sets victory over Novak Djokovic and recently opened up about the emotion he felt watching Murray's triumph unfold almost 13 years ago.

Speaking on theAegon Championships' tennis podcast, the Portuguese icon said: "I have to say I had a couple of tears for Andy when he won Wimbledon. It was something that obviously meant more than anything in his career.

"I could imagine it was something from another world. I don't think he would change the Wimbledon victory for another 10 victories in other Grand Slams. It's more than the game, it's more than a tournament.

"He has broken the psychological wall that was there for every British person that loves the game. I think that for sure it was the best day in his career and I shared that happiness from where I was."
