They all excited and inspired me by how they fought their corners […] So I want to place them all round a fantasy dinner-table,not just to dine,but to relive how I saw them in action and how much they had in common.

Some are well-known,others less so,but all shaped both their sport and those,like Macpherson,who watched their careers unfold.
