Charles James Fox for me.
"In appearance, Fox was dark, corpulent and hairy, to the extent that when he was born his father compared him to a monkey.His round face was dominated by his luxuriant eyebrows, with the result that he was known among the Whigs as 'the Eyebrow.' Though he became increasingly dishevelled and fat in middle age, the young Fox had been a very fashionable figure; in particular, he had been the leader of the 'Maccaroni' set of extravagant young followers of Continental fashions. Fox enjoyed riding and cricket but, in the latter case, the combination of his impulsive nature and considerable weight led to his often being run out between wickets."
I think it is true greatness that we all can aspire to.
