Has to be one - they named Maltesers after him :)

googled it. There's a list of 'famous' Maltese people. However, none are of such fame as to be recognizable every day terms.

<quoted text>Brittany Spears is the only name I recognized in that long list of individuals and she herself is not known as a maltese but as an american.I'm willing to bet that you yourself didnt recognize a single one of those names other than her.Let me give you some examples of what I'm looking for. Jamaica;Bob Marley. Cuba;Fidel Castro. Iceland;Bjork.All three just small island nations like Malta with histories FAR shorter.

Your bet was right on the money!
Brittaney Spears? Don't remember seeing her on the list, but if you insist. Yep, Malta isn't measuring up too well to our Carribean and Icelandic friends. It may be related with a long history of being invaded and occupied.

What does an uncultured negro like you know about really famous people? Bob Marley? an unwashed dirty screamer? We have the world's best tenor at present who is the top star at the New York Opera House. Fidel Castro? also George Bush is famous the world over but that doesn't mean a thing. We had Dom Mintoff who was considered the top politician in Europe in his day. But you wouldn't know anything about serious music or politics. We had famous doctors who found cures for tropical diseases and were knighted by the Queen of England for their achievements and discovories. Not to mention archaeologists, architects and painters all of which are beyond your scope of understanding. All you can mention are cheap pop stars and dictators. And remember we are less than a million people worldwide.
Now here is the challenge, there are some 40 million blacks and AA's in America, name just one who is famous for anything. You can't compare your low race with an advanced civilisation like the Maltese. Poor uneducated nigguh.

You want to talk about things that you know nothing about. The Odyssey by Homer starts on the island of Malta where Odysseus is detained by the Nymph Godess Calypso. At least read page one of chapter one of the book. We were the first civilisation in the Mediterranean and we have the prehistoric temples to prove it. Long before your ancestors were found roaming naked in the jungles of Africa by the Europeans thousands of years later, there is no comparison.

Typical response with nothing but empty dirty talk in it. I've hammered you down haven't I Niccuh? You know as much as I do that AA's are only famous for lowlife criminality and nothing else. I know I am wasting my time with an idiot like you, so I will jump to another forum. I know you are trying to deviate the subject away from Africa and your poor failed race, but unfortunately this is the subject of these forums. As I said there is no comparison between your civilisation and mine. Your people are still serving my people today as refugees running away from Africa, and it is you who are licking our ass...hahaha.

Well, this small island produced the most famous and clearly the best pool player in the world, that is why most maltese lads which grew up in the uk are great at pool. Have you never heard of Maltese Joe?

How would anyone think of having a great person from a land made up of descendants of coward soldiars of the Othoman empire punished for their cowardice by dumping them together with the Indo-European slaves also dumped in this ones useless island now called Malta?. How could descendants of cowards become great men?. It's not possible . No coward ever achieve greatness . Some people makes noise without knowing their history . Futhermore, one should know that yesterday is the mirror of today, by which we look through to the future . Forgetting yesterday to make noise today is like living in the fools paradise .

"With Malta in enemy hands, the Mediterranean route would be completely closed to us...this tiny island was a vital feature in the defence of our Middle East position."
General Hastings Ismay - 1942

"During World War II, Malta played an important role owing to its proximity to Axis shipping lanes. The bravery of the Maltese people during the second Siege of Malta moved HM King George VI to award the George Cross to Malta on a collective basis on April 15, 1942 "to bear witness to a heroism and devotion that will long be famous in history". Some historians argue that the award caused Britain to incur disproportionate losses in defending Malta, as British credibility would have suffered if Malta surrendered, as Singapore had."

"The Siege of Malta (also known as the Great Siege of Malta) took place in 1565 when the Ottoman Empire invaded the island, then held by the Knights Hospitaller (also known as the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, Knights of Malta, Knights of Rhodes, and Chevaliers of Malta)
The Knights won the siege, one of the bloodiest and most fiercely contested in history, and one which became one of the most celebrated events in sixteenth century Europe. Voltaire may have exaggerated when he said, "Nothing is more well known than the siege of Malta," but it unquestionably put an end to the European perception of Ottoman invincibility and marked a new phase in Spanish domination of the Mediterranean." Maybe your Spain would not be the same if it wasn't for the bravery of the Maltese people!!!

That's because you are so stupid and don't know anything about culture except your degenerate monkey-jumping black culture. Just name one famous black who is known for anything except screaming monkey-jumping pop thrash.

It is your people who are our slaves, they are coming by the thousands from Africa and arab countries to seek refuge here because they are desperate and can't feed themselves in their countries.
Maltese history is the very opposite of what you say, we defeated the Ottoman empire and made thousands of slaves from your race. Read any history book about Malta.
You are a very good example of this because you can't live in your own country and have to live in a white country. The Maltese are far superior in intelligence and ability than your retarded race, and you know it and are just jealous...hahaha.

Paul Mifsud was also the world champion of billiards in the 80's. Another Maltese.
If there were 50 million Maltese in the world we would dominate the whole world in everything. But we are less than half a million.

I hope BA and his nitwit friends have got their answer to this thead.
