I think we'll need more clues .  I know I for one, do not know a lot about English news, or events.

aah, but the London background is a bit of a red herring. This fellow became well known here, in Australia, around 20 years ago.

Yes!

Eric Moussambani Malonga (born 31 May 1978) is a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea. Nicknamed "Eric the Eel" by the media, Moussambani made history at the 2000 Summer Olympics for swimming his heat of the 100 m freestyle by himself, slowly, and winning, after both his competitors were disqualified for false starts. While Moussambani's time was still too slow to advance to the next round, he set a new personal best and an Equatoguinean national record. He later became the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea and coached the team for the London 2012 Olympics.

You all know him.  In fact, you've probably all seen at least one movie about him.  Think Buckskin.  biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Well, the only one I think of wearing skins is Daniel Boone, but I think he was just on telly, he wasn't a real guy.

Actually, Daniel was a real guy.  But it's not him I'm afraid.  I think this guy was with Buffalo Bills' Show for a while.

 Thanks, I thought he was made up.  The TV show seemed very made up, but I suppose that's how TV shows were back then.  Not very realistic.  

How about.....

Wild Bill Hickock?

You got him Jack.  Who have you got for us ?

 

Christopher Houston Carson (December 24, 1809 May 23, 1868), better known as Kit Carson, was an American frontiersman. He was a mountain man (fur trapper), wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. Carson became a frontier legend in his own lifetime via biographies and news articles.

G'day Sandy. Sorry not him. He was American. He died in a bit of a blue in an old Spanish mission.

Cheers
