Magnus Alfred Pyke (Paddington, London, 29 December 1908 — 19 October 1992) was a British scientist and media figure, who, although apparently quite eccentric and playing up to the mad scientist stereotype, succeeded in explaining science to a lay audience. He was known for his enthusiastic way of waving his arms around as he spoke. Born in Paddington, London and educated at St Paul's School.  |

Lev Yashin, yay! He was always my favourite, though (as I have just realised) I never saw him play, on TV or anywhere. I don't think I've even seen a picture of him.

Keith Floyd (28 December 1943 – 14 September 2009) was a British celebrity chef, television personality and restaurateur, who hosted cooking shows for the BBC and published many books combining cookery and travel. On television, his eccentric style of presentation endeared him to millions of viewers worldwide. Floyd was born at Folly Farm near Reading, Berkshire on 28 December 1943.  He was best friends of a good friend of mine and I met him a few times. A wonderful dinner guest and pub companion, usually until about two thirds of the way through the meal or whatever! He once cooked a beer mat in his restaurant in Bristol for some miserable bastard who used to come in and complain. He did a proper job and flambéed it etc and served it with all the trimmings, and the chap actually ate it. He then told him what he had eaten and threw him out! That is style!! |

Good for him!
Kingsley Amis said he was a terrible lecturer (he was one of his students) - not that his stuff wasn't good, once you'd got his notes, but that you couldn't hear a word he said.
