I recognise most of those words, but I can't fathom the meaning of them in that order.
In answer to the question in the thread title, Stephen Hawking.

John Surtees.
The only rider / driver to have won World Championships on two and four wheels.
Four times World motorcycle champion, then won the Formula 1 tile for Ferrari.
Did extremely well to survive that era, when many did not. Then tragically lost his own son Henry in a freak racing accident.
Then became a racing car constructor and has been a long term ambassador for various charities. Seems a decent and down to earth bloke too.
Curiously Stirling Moss has been knighted as an icon of British motorsport, but never won the F1 World Championship. Although he did narrowly concede it to Mike Hawthorn, not something that would readily happen today. Moss might be the Beckham of his day - talented, fashionable and newsworthy etc but never quite achieved the ultimate success in his sport. However Moss does have that epic Mille Miglia victory which was a real feat, so no problem in my book.
IMHO it would not seem right to see Beckham gain a Knighthood before an achiever like Surtees, but I guess John does not enjoy the same profile.

Nobody.... it is an outdated elitist boys club made even more meaningless by the inclusion of popular entertainers & sportsmen of the day

Point taken but slightly lower down the order some hard-working and selfless people get well deserved recognition and thanks for their efforts.

I think the club should be getting some national recognition for it's handling of the Shoreham disaster.
To be that faultless and so completely in sync with an entire community, for so long, over such a raw time is virtually impossible.
It's not something the local paper or selfie taking police force could manage.

Jeremy Corbyn for services to the Conservative party. He probably wouldn't turn up but if he did could her Maj resist lopping his head off ?
