Mr. Potato Head?
Wikipedia tells me that teenage football player Dan Gosling, of
Plymouth Argyle was born and raised in Brixham, and is the
fourth-youngest player to have ever played for Plymouth Argyle aged 16
and 310 days.
If he's not famous and historical I don't know who is.
My 3rd guess is Sir Walter Raleigh, followed closely by Francis ("Fuck
off, I'm playing bowls") Drake.
