Alfred The Great takes some beating, a real man's man. Saw off the Vikings but so shit at cooking he burnt the cakes.

Well, him and Alan Turing.

Whoever it was that first thought, "I wonder what that spider looking thing that lives in the sea would taste like if I put it in boiling water for 10 minutes"

 

[Phat Baz 68]

How about a modern day hero like Corporal Johnson Beharry VC !!

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Mussolini

He got the trains running ON TIME

 

[brakespear]

King Arthur, if he ever existed.

 

[Ernest]

Jimmy Savile

 

[Dave the OAP]

Phaedra, wife of Theseus and step mother to Hippolytus.

Much maligned and misunderstood.

 

[JCL666]

Jules Bonnot

 

[Biscuit]

Norman Borlaug, doesn't get the credit he deserves.

 

[salty seagull]

Sir Arthur Wellesley.

Hard to look beyond Sir Winston in my opinion.

I've got to agree with this, the man was a genius.

During the war, he knew that Hitler was superstitious, so he used to have his English spies living in Germany write the horoscopes published in their Newspapers. Hitler would then read these and develop his battle tactics based on them, meaning that Churchill actually had an influence over the German army.

At another point, Hitler threatened to gas the whole of Britain. Churchill responded by threatening to gas the whole of Germany, should Hitler go ahead with that threat. Hitler obviously never went ahead with it, completely unaware of the fact that Churchill was bluffing, and Britain had no gas reserves or factories available to produce the amount required in time.

Is there even the smallest shred of truth in any of that??
