Grit, Discipline, and Life Lessons from a Squash Legend
She’s a four-time world squash champion, former Race Relations Commissioner, and a Kiwi icon known for her relentless drive and discipline — on and off the court.
In this episode of In the Driver’s Seat with Greg Murphy, Dame Susan Devoy gets behind the wheel of her Jag and opens up about life at the top, the pressures of performance, and a driving moment when her life truly flashed before her eyes.
From elite sport to everyday challenges, Dame Suzy shares stories about focus, resilience, and the importance of staying sharp — including the hilarious tale of the time she got pulled over by the boys in blue and introduced herself… only to be met with, “Yeah, and I’m Diego Maradona.”
It’s bold, honest, and full of the grit that’s defined her career and character.

This ten-part series invites high-profile New Zealanders to take Murph for a spin in their own cars while opening up about the lives they’ve lived — and the roads they’ve taken. Then it’s back to the studio for a more unfiltered chat about defining moments, driving habits, and the lessons that stuck.
In the Driver’s Seat with Greg Murphy is about cars — sure — but more than that, it’s about people. Honest, funny, and surprisingly personal stories from familiar faces, told from behind the wheel.
