I'm torn about this. My inner imp of peevishness wanted it not to be him, and just some other poor bugger, mostly on the principle that we're all equal and doesn't that other poor bugger deserve a name and a face and a decent burial.
On the other hand, it's doing wonders for Leicester Uni's image.

Because Leicester, despite Evil Bob's herculean efforts, are still not held in the regard it deserves.
