After surviving a near-fatal scalding aged three, David Miller's
life incentives emerged through involvement and achievement in a
range of sports, nearing amateur international level in football
and athletics. But then, needing employment, he retired at 22 to
enter sports journalism. Having written on 30 sports from 120
countries for four national newspapers, Miller is perfectly placed
to analyse and explain what drives those who excel in sport. This
anthology of 50 epic performers provides a mirror of the emotions
and commitment that drive the imagination of the many and the
ambitions of the elite. From the unself-conscious self-discipline
of Jesse Owens, Stanley Matthews, Jahangir Khan, Torvill and Dean
and Steve Redgrave, to the fundamental loneliness and insecurity
that galvanises spontaneous exhibitionists such as Jack Johnson,
George Best and Alex Higgins, Miller uncovers what makes these
great athletes and sports stars tick.
