I hate these bloody competitions; if you look through the top 100 you see how utterly banal they are. If I recall aright Beckham is in there, but I don't think any members of the '66 World Cup Squad are and they brought the WC back!
Apart from that, how can sports or pop stars, or minor Royals (sorry Diana simply played a supporting role) take precedence over people who've stood up for the country or played a part in its development.
Still, as the Tin-Legged Wonder isn't in the top 10, I'll vote for Winnie as well!
Rant over!
