Talented feckers. 1. Leonardo Da Vinci ......painting, engineering, anatomy,
3. Bernini....sculpture , architecture, music composition 4. Heinrich Schleimann....Archaeology for Troy, entrepreneur in the California Gold Rush. 5. Josef Stalin.....Poetry, Singing, Politics, brilliantly talented at escaping the accountability for previous crimes. 6. Blair Maine..... Rugby, Boxing, founding the SAS, 7. Julian Speroni.....shot-stopper, Restauranteur 8. Carlo Ancelloti.....a better player than Alex Ferguson, and a better manager than Wayne Rooney. 9. Isaac Newton........everything including Alchemy. 10. Pele..........football & erectile dysfunction campaigning Excluded from the Thread : Mediocrities...people who merely 'Did' different fields....without excelling. Therefore the paintings of Churchill & Hitler are not good enough to win an award. If the painting is not a Picasso then you are only a mediocre hack, a hobbyist. But we will accept people who were pretty good at multiple difficult fields. Therefore Padraig Harrington gets included.......Golf Champion and Chartered Accountant. How many other Golf champions can do much other than hit a ball all day ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (17 Jun 2024 11.25am)

One of my heroes Paul Robeson, talented but flawed individual. From Wikipedia "was an American bass-baritone concert artist, actor, professional football player, and activist who became famous both for his cultural accomplishments and for his political stances. " They forgot he was also a lawyer.
