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. Who would be on your dream dinner party guest
list? Over his 50 years in broadcasting, Archie Macpherson has seen
many sports personalities come and go; in Touching the Heights he
collects the 13 who have inspired him most around his fantasy
dinner table. Some are well-known, others less so, but all shaped
both their sport and those, like Macpherson, who watched their
careers unfold. Tommy Docherty * Jackie Paterson * Jim Baxter Eric
Brown * Jimmy Johnstone * Sandra Whittaker Dr Richard Budgett *
Ally MacLeod * Jock Stein * Sir Alex Ferguson * Bill McLaren * Jim
MacLean * Graeme Souness From football to golf, boxing to
athletics, Touching the Heights celebrates the breadth of Scottish
sporting achievement. Whether telling the tale of a boy who
acquired new shoes by stealing them from the local baths, or that
of a distinguished medical scientist at the centre of sporting
transgender debates, one thing unites them all: Without them life
would have been much poorer.
