This work attempts to cover all international, seminal sports figures from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century in all disciplines. More than 600 biographies cover not only athletes but also coaches, team executives, media figures, writers, and sportscasters. The criteria for selection included ''first'' achievements, impact on sport and then society, records set or broken, and involvement in controversial or newsworthy activities on or off the field.
