horatio nelson,
had a particularly good day at the office by slapping convincingly the french and their mates at that time the spanish all over cape trafalgar on 21st october 1805,
he got fatally shot leading from the front but ensured that england ruled the waves, at least for the next 100 years or so,
he was flawed in his personal life and had an ego the size never before seen but put his efforts where his mouth was and delivered as promised and required,
he had courage, commitment and skill un-rivalled in our military history.

Famous isn't the same as great
Fame tends to be pretty fleeting - and needs constant updating.
I doubt many people in say China or India would know who Wordsworth or Nelson were or even Churchill.
I'd imagine that a whole lot more would know David Beckham and probably half the Manchester United team.
