I altered this redirect to go to the footballer, rather than comedian/writer Tony Hawks (real name "Antony Gordon Hawksworth"). Reason being that whether or not Tony Hawks is more famous, he's not primarily referred to by his birth name (and most people probably wouldn't think to search for him by that), whereas the footballer is.
