Recent, still fairly highly ranked

Walk is just a straightforward synonym which give the first 4 letters of the first name.

The rest is quite cryptic but you should be able to guess it once you've solved the first 4 letters

Stephen Lee.

Ig (or someone else) can have the go though as I don't get on as often these days and wouldn't want to hold the thread up.

I'm sure Dawn French is a good sport - but sportsperson? Perhaps not.

You're making something easy into something difficult.

The answer is very clearly in the clue.

Surname 6 letters.
