A young Harry Maguire is beaten to the line at sports day, a teenage Jessica Ennis-Hill collects her latest award, and a fresh-faced Jarvis Cocker poses as part of a very early incarnation of Pulp.
They are among Sheffield’s favourite sons and daughters pictured when they were younger in this retro photo gallery, taking us from the 1960s to the noughties.
Actors, comedians, musicians, businesspeople and even a space pioneer feature in this line-up of famous faces who grew up and went to school in Sheffield.
Sean Bean is seen attending the local premiere of the cult 90s film When Saturday Comes, the recently inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Joe Cocker is pictured on stage at a much-missed music venue, and goalkeeping great Gordon Banks is shown celebrating England’s World Cup triumph with his wife and children.
