I have an unusual request ...

Does anyone know where I can get a high resolution photo of Bjorn Borg during his playing days? It definitely needs to be high res. I've searched the web and yes, there are tonnes of pics of him, but not high res. I also realise this will be difficult because digital photos didn't exist during his playing days so someone will need to have scanned it.
Why you ask?
Well it's my first anniversary in March and I'm going down the 'traditional' route of the first anniversary gift i.e. paper. What I'm doing is making her a coffee table photo book using these guys: http://www.thephotobookcompany.co.uk/ The book will chronicle our time from our first meeting to our trips away and other special times together and end with our wedding. I'm calling it "From the Beginning to the Beginning"
We met at my flat when my flatmates and I threw a Bjorn Borg tennis party (you oughta have seen how I was dressed!! it's no wonder she knocked me back at that time!!). Anyway, I want to use a picture of him playing as the background to the first page.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated. My last option would be to aquire a photo of him myself and scan it, but I'm hoping to avoid this route.
Thanks!!

Unfortunately no. I'd found ones of roughly that size and the software warned me that they were too low in quality. It needs to bo on a 35cm x 25cm page. These will be grainy.
I'm thinking I need to find a pic, buy it and scan it

Have you thought about buying a poster instead? I found one 20 x 25 cm for £4.99. Other sizes may be available.

@TTT. afx237vi's links will be fine. I work in graphics, they're better than a lot of the origination I have to work with. One of them is fairly grainy but that's the film grain you can see, not pixellation. PM me; I'll can res them up a bit & mail them over.
Ecto.

can you not just get a photo of Justin Lee Collins and photoshop a few pounds off and apply the Headband tool.
