Many thanks to our readers and visitors to this website who took the time to enter our awesome “The Rise and Rise of Eddie McGuire” book competition.

To be in the running to win one of 10 copies of this terrific sports book thanks to Hachette Australia, entrants had to tell us in 20 words or less why they would make a great sports administrator.

The answers below have earned their authors a copy of Eddie’s book. Congratulations guys!

If you were unlucky this time around, make sure you enter one of the other competitions currently running on our website. And there are more comps on the way, so stay tuned.

Inside Sport magazine thanks everyone for their interest and support.
