Greatest Living Yorkshireman (or Woman)

Who is it?

David Cameron suggested it was William Hague, I'd have to disagree.

My pick would be Sir Geoffrey Boycott.

Mine would be the owner of the Le Chambre.

Toss up between Alan Bennett, Anthony Gormley, David Hockney, Alex Turner, Jess Ennis, Geoff Boycott and Kevin Keegan. Take your pick I'd say.

I'm showing some serious ignorance here, but I've never heard of Anthony Gormley or David Hockney.

It would have to be someone like William Wilberforce or Captain Cook for me. These chaps really did make a difference, which is what makes a person great in my opinion.

Even in death, they are still greater than most of the current lot, including Hague

Hockney is generally regarded (awaits whining rebuttals:|) as one of, if not the UK's greatest living artist.

*Incidentally the correct answer Lord Sir David Hirst.

Richard Whiteley.
