Spike Milligan is the absolute archetypal flawed genius.

Certainly not Eric Cantona.

I'll nominate Bobby Fisher.

captainasquatch - What was Senna's flaw?

He was a World Champion.
He gave millions to charity.
His death was caused by others mistakes.
He left a legacy of major safety improvements.

Where's his flaws?

Flawed genius, what that really means is they were really good at one thing and a bit shit at some or most of the other aspects of life. So a bit like the rest of us really only with the big talent.

The term implies flawless genius. Could we claim that of anyone? Geniuses are still people.

He didn't know when to stop, by his own admission he didn't have full control of his actions or decisions.

Well for a F1 World Champion I would suggest that's more a necessary attribute than a flaw. 🙂

Well, he paid the ultimate price, a lot of f1 champions are still alive. But whatever.

He dies because of a fault with his car not his mistake.

on 13 April 2007, the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation delivered its own verdict (number 15050) stating that: "It has been determined that the accident was caused by a steering column failure. This failure was caused by badly designed and badly executed modifications. The responsibility for this falls on Patrick Head, culpable of omitted control".

Yes, that's right, but imo he was flawed. In your opinion he wasn't.
I see a little problem here.
He knew the cars were dangerous, he said the cars were dangerous, he said there would be accidents. And there were accidents.
He had to win.
