Bryan Sharp of Albany Tennis Club received the Lifetime Achievement award at the Isle of Man Bank Sports Awards last night.
He has been a member of the club, and involved with it in various capacities, for the last 50 years.
Associates from the club, and people from the wider Manx sporting community paid tribute to his efforts and tireless dedication, before he was presented with the honour.
Speaking to Manx Radio at the end of the ceremony, when he'd had time for things to sink in, he told us what's kept him going:
FC Isle of Man torn apart at Barnoldswick Town
New padel courts in Noble's Park opening after two years in development
Hockey: Compact mixed schedule on the cards this weekend
Rugby: Busy triple-header beckons at Ballafletcher
