Best known possibly for playing Geoffrey Ingham in the film version of Shelagh Delaney's Taste of Honey (alongside Rita Tushingham and Dora Bryan amongst others) back in 1961. The original play and film were ground breaking as Geoffrey was an openly gay character, certainly by the standards of the time, and both the play and film were deemed controversial.
Mickey Stewart, former Charlton footballer, Surrey and England cricketer and Manager for both, is currently sitting at The Oval watching the Test. He will be 90 next Friday and I'm sure that the person who started this thread would accept Mickey into the fold once he reaches that landmark.
Famous for having a classification of degree named after him but, more seriously and importantly, also for his distinguished work campaigning against apartheid and for the United Nations.
……and for having a bit of garden named after him in Chinbrook Meadows.

Norman Burtenshaw well known football referee of yester year, who was 'coined' by our friendly neighbours back in the sixties if memory serves me right, born February 1926.
Singer, Dancer and Actress in fifties musicals such as 'There's No Business Like Show Business' and 'South Pacific' which were massive hits at the time and have been performed subsequently often too.
A few hours early but in the absence of Chirpy hopefully permissible as circumstances dictate that I probably won't have internet access tomorrow.
When we got our first record player a neighbour gave us a bunch of records to get us started, it included Petula Clark's 'Sailor' - which I thought was marvellous at the time.
Best known as the referee on the TV show Gladiators but also a distinguished athletics coach over many years.
A celebrity Len……Mmmmm….I don’t think so.🤔 Personally, I’ve never heard of him.
Gladiators was prime Saturday night viewing when my girls were young. John Fashanu presented it and John Anderson was the referee and regularly referred to during the programme.
I'd wager most on here know who he is if I was a gambling man.
