At first glance, Chris Meagher’s apartment in Sydney’s Double Bay looks like that of any retiree. Photos of children and grandchildren line the mantelpiece. Nostalgic knick-knacks from a life well lived are scattered around the sun-dappled living room.
But something about these mementos seems out of place. A photo shows Meagher’s sons on the sand of the bullring in Pamplona, clad in the red and white of the Spanish city’s famous fiesta. Drawings on the wall at the foot of the stairs depict matadors, stoic and still, passing fighting bulls, toros bravos, with the small red cape, or muleta, of their trade. And in the kitchen, just above the kettle, hangs a 50-year-old poster advertising a novice bullfight, or novillada, in the Andalusian town of Santa Olalla del Cala.
The names of the three novilleros scheduled to fight on the afternoon of 25 August 1964 are listed in descending order of seniority: Joaquín Camino; Manuel Álvarez, “El Bala” (“The Bullet”); and Cristóbal Morales, “El Australiano”.

“That was the last time I ever fought,” Meagher says ruefully.
