Aged just 21, he played a key role in England's historic 2010 Ashes win over their fiercest rivals - their first victory down under since the 1980s - and went on to be part of three Ashes winning sides. But there was a darker side to his career. In 2014, Finn was sent home from Australia during the calamitous 5-0 series defeat after he lost his confidence and his bowling action fell apart. He was adamant that it wouldn't be the end of his England career though; after fighting to overcome his demons and regain his place in the side, he played a key role as England regained the urn in 2015.

Avec ses échappées à l'emporte-pièce et son tir puissant, Guy Lafleur a été, dans l'uniforme du Canadien de Montréal, l'un des meilleurs hockeyeurs de son époque. Intuitif, il a toujours foncé vers le filet adverse, crinière au vent, sous les «Guy! Guy! Guy!» enthousiastes de la foule. Son parcours est atypique: il prend une retraite surprenante à 33 ans, et va de nouveau à contrecourant en revenant au jeu, près de quatre ans plus tard. Après un passage à New York, il terminera sa carrière dans l'uniforme des Nordiques de Québec, la ville où sa légende a débuté.
