Earlier this week, we asked our readers which local heroes need honouring on the Sheffield Legends walk of fame - and we received hundreds of responses.
The walk of fame can be found outside Sheffield Town Hall and includes a number of people from or connected to the steel city, including Joe Cocker, Dame Margaret Drabble, and Sean Bean.
The latest addition was five years ago in 2019 to honour Tony Foulds’ work looking after the Mi Amigo memorial in Endcliffe Park.
Here are just some of the most mentioned local heroes that our readers think deserve a plaque in the city centre.

5. Richard Hawley
Sheffield legend Richard Hawley deserves a plaque to honour his musical success. He first found success as a member of Britpop band Longpigs in the 1990s, and went on to join Pulp with friend Jarvis Cocker. Since then he has released 10 albums as a solo artist. | National World

7. The Human League
Sheffield legends The Human League were recommended for a star on the walk of fame. Since forming in the late 1970s, the group has recorded nine studio albums, and continues to make music to this day. | Daniel Martino

8. The Full Monty
The Full Monty, about a group of unemplyed steelworkers who strip to make ends meet, became a global sensation upon its release in 1997, grossing more than $250 million. It is still held in such affection that a TV reboot, featuring the original cast, was made by Disney+ in 2023. | Fox Searchlight Photo: Fox Searchlight
