Yes, 80s pop legend Matt Goss, and 17th century Baroque organ legend Manuel Cardoso. According to Wiki, he "represented the "golden age" of Portuguese polyphony," something I'm sure we all agree on.0 -
Not sure how to do images - see if this works

No 10 looks like some dodgy actor - I think he might be in holby or something similar. Sorry don't know his name but it isn't Chris Horner is it?

It's easier to go through the Holby City cast list to find a cyclist. He is an actor in Holby, but you worked that out not me - so I'll let you take the glory.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Yeah, it is someone from Holby City - I'm not sure who's the least famous, though, the actor or the cyclist.
No idea who the wrestler is!0
