Bonjour Frank,

It means "who has won over both young and old".

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Yes, that's the literal translation. But in English, the knowledge of how to do something doesn't mean he actually did it. In French, however, the act of doing it is implied.

why isn't it "who knew how to win over the young as well as old"
