The Grand Slam
 A Brief History Of The Grand Slam A grand slam is where one team beats all their opponents during one year's competition. There is no official trophy for this achievement. The term was probably first used in 1957 when The Times used the expression 'Grand Slam' to describe England's four wins in the (then) Five Nations Tournament. No team has ever won three consecutive Grand Slams. In France it is called Le Grand Chelem. |
