Damo's question about a sportsman was, I'm sure we'd all agree, a truly outstanding question, one for the ages - but also, you haven't answered it yet.

Ah, I thought with my slightly cryptic answer to the first question you might not want an answer to the second.

No, he was not a sportsman.

Ok so it's a dead black dude from Africa, the Middle East as far as Afghanistan (but not including Pakistan), Central Asia or the Caucasus, who didn't do any of the listed jobs, and who died relatively recently.
