Frank Evans, 67-year-old Matador

The Salford grandfather-of-five, known as El Inglés since killing his first bull in 1966, is the only British bullfighter to earn the accolade of "matador de toros" and the oldest torero on Spain's bullfighting circuit. And he is certainly the only matador to attempt a comeback following a quadruple heart bypass and knee replacement surgery. The son of a Manchester butcher, who divides his time between his Salford home and an apartment in Marbella, Mr Evans has enjoyed a four decade career as a bullfighter after running off to Spain in the 1960s and enrolling in bullfighting school.
