What a good idea, although it really should be Bobby Moore (cockney for a score )
I vote Sir Raymond Winstone for the ÂĢ50 note.

Rick Mayall mentioned above was a good one. How about Steve Strange? Sadly departed, the prince of the new romantics!
The Bank of England has published a list of those people nominated by the public to be shown on the next ÂĢ20 note.
As the nominations were for visual artists (such as painters, sculptors, photographers, costume designers and film directors) the list excludes those outside the areas of visual arts.
It's a long list and is in alphabetical order by people's first names rather than surnames

Of people mentioned above, Alfred Hitchcock is in the list. I haven't checked if any of the others have.
The committee will start considering a shortlist in September.
I did nominate Michael Powell the film director of films such as A Matter of Life and Death and The Red Shoes and he is in the list.

The Bank of England has now announced that the next ÂĢ20 note will show the artist J M W Turner with his panting The Fighting Temeraire,
