Clarke, Peter Hugh
I don't think Golombek's and Penrose's otb titles were the same. Penrose was retrospective not honorary. Mat Turner is SCOT not IRL. Is Aagaard a Scot still?

I don't think the details of that award are settled, or probably now ever will be.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a QR code stamped on a human face — forever.
