Many of them
Throughout my school career I've been lucky enough to have been taught by a great number of incredible people -- but I don't think any of them would disagree with my nomination of the deputy head of the school as leading the bunch.

He was a man of six feet in all dimensions, in the strictly athletic sense. This enormous innate strength was something that he would use frequently to great effect. He once chased an youthful intruder to the school around most of the playing fields and then down the 800m drive at a time when he must have been in the region of 60, and whilst wearing a suit; sadly he didn't catch them, but I suspect the end result would have been spectacular if he was successful.

As part of a physics experiment he once pulled a car up the school drive. Another teacher goaded him with the statement "if you were twenty years younger, you'd be doing that with your teeth". Cue said teacher placing rope in mouth, and continuing.

He was once observed helping a parent in distress: cars had parked close in front and behind her, blocking her in her parking space. He walked over, lifted up the rear of the car in front, and swung it round to the side to ensure her exit.

I've also had the tale recounted of the time another teacher burst into his classroom brandishing a revolver, and emptied six shots into his torso. He span round, and dropped to the floor, leaving twenty shocked teenage boys in terror... Until he jumped up, and chased the starting-pistol wielding teacher down the corridor.

This is all without even mentioning his incredible mental strength, integrity, and dedication to his job. He was/is an incredible character and it was an absolute privilege to have been at his school.
