Sheffield has produced no shortage of famous names, from global film stars to music legends.
Some of Sheffield’s biggest celebrities have moved elsewhere after finding fame, while others have stayed in the city that made them, but none have forgotten their roots.
This retro photo gallery shows just some of the stars who have made Sheffield proud, on their home turf, from sporting greats Jessica Ennis-Hill and ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed to film and TV star Sean Bean and legends of rock Def Leppard.
