Had Nancy Bird still been around when Tracy landed in Australia she would have been met and feted by the elder retainer . Nancy loved the limelight and was never averse to stealing the thunder of the odd hard working quiet type behind the scenes (Peggy Kelman comes to mind) . This may seem wildly off topic but speaking with the son of Peggy Kelman you did get another perspective on the way media savvy personalities can project themselves.
Not denigrating Nancy or her memory . .. just mentioning one of her foibles.
