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.

Sebastian Coe, who grew up in Sheffield and attended Tapton School, is pictured here in 1977. He would go on to become possibly Britain's greatest middle-distance runner, winning 1500m gold at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and famously setting three world records in the space of 41 days in 1979.
