The only reason I have knowingly heard Nick Drake, is Kylie Minogue.

Forgive me if this was a meta-joke, Gero, but are you thinking of Nick Cave?

On the bus going theough Stratford I sometimes pass the Sir Ludwig Guttmann health centre, which was completely mysterious to me until I looked him up - the German born British founder of the Paralympic Games, plus director of the first spinal injuries unit in the UK, etc.

In my degree I wrote a dissertation on the theological impact of St Gregory of Nazianzus. Bloke practically invented the Trinity doctrine at the Council of Constantinople in 381AD.

I estimate approximately 0.00000001% of Trinity-espousing Christians have heard of the guy. (Number will be higher in Orthodox churches)

Thank you.

Forgive me if this was a meta-joke, Gero, but are you thinking of Nick Cave?

YES! SOMEONE GOT IT!!!
