Hackett on Alpha list
HE MAY have been ruled out of the Commonwealth Games, but Grant Hackett is still one of the most influential figures in Australian sport, according to ALPHA Magazine.
Hackett is featured in the magazine’s comprehensive list of the 101 Most Influential People in Australian Sport in the December issue, which is on sale tomorrow.
The list covers all aspects of Australian sport, including current and retired sports stars, administrators, media proprietors, journalists, sports managers and corporate heavies whose companies provide millions of dollars worth of sponsorship.
The list includes such names as Hackett, Ian Thorpe, Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, Chris Judd, Leigh Matthews, Paul Roos, Andrew Johns, Ricky Stuart and Greg Norman.
ALPHA’s editor Neil Breen said collating the list was an extremely difficult task.
Also in the December issue of ALPHA is a compelling feature on snowboarder Torah Bright, Australia’s best chance for a medal in February’s Winter Olympics, a revealing interview with big-wave king Laird Hamilton and a comprehensive men’s gift guide for Christmas.
